Claim Text:
1. A position indicator comprising: an enclosure forming a hollow and rod-shaped tubular body; a substrate disposed in the hollow portion of the enclosure and having a circuit configured to process signals exchanged with a position detection sensor; and a film-shaped capacitor having first and second conductor layers, the first conductor layer being formed on one side of a sheet-shaped dielectric, the second conductor layer being formed on another side of the sheet-shaped dielectric and being opposed to the first conductor layer with the sheet-shaped dielectric provided therebetween, wherein the film-shaped capacitor is fastened to the substrate in such a manner as to make up part of said circuit, and the size of an area over which the first and second conductor layers of the film-shaped capacitor are opposed to each other is changeable by changing the size of the film-shaped capacitor so as to specify a constant of said circuit disposed on the substrate, and the film-shaped capacitor is fastened to the substrate in such a manner that at least one of longitudinal end portions of the film-shaped capacitor is left free.
