That would give you up to a 5% error but modern production practices probably yeild better then 5% accuracy. Also, you could calibrate the resistor with a DVM. rsbohn,

It's good to have the basics presented so clearly, with pointers on how to build something more advanced. Now I just need to find a precision 1 Ohm resitor!
