Bert,Jim,

Thanks for the advises.
Corrosion doesn't bother me much couse' the resistor
,if made for the experiment,would not be constructed
to last for a long time.
Potential exposion danger,on the other hand,is
something an experimenter must always think of.
I don't think it would happen in this kind of
experiment
,but if CuSO4 is claimed to be safer no problem I can
get it.

Regards,
Boris
