The plural of 'ohm' is ohms, not ohm's.
The alpha-numeric code for identifying the resistance of a resistor is quite straightforward.
The letter is used as a multiplier. For example, k= x1000 and M = x1000 000. In other words, k represents kilo, and M represents mega.
The position of the letter represents the position of the decimal marker.
So,
- 1M5 represents 1.5 x 1000 000, or 1.5 megohms.
- 15M represents 15 x 1000 000, or 15 megohms.
- etc.
Similarly,
- 1k5 represents 1.5 x 1000, or 1.5 kilohms.
- 15k represents 15 x 1000, or 15 kilohms.
- etc.

∙ 12y ago'5M' is a way of indicating a resistance of 5 megohms for components on electrical schematic diagrams. The 'M' represents 'mega', and its position indicates the position of the decimal point. So, while '5M' indicates 5 megohms, 'M5' would represent 0.5 megohms, and 5M5 would represent 5.5 megohms, etc. Similarly, 'K' is used to represent 'kilo' -so '5K5' would represent 5.5 kilohms.
It's unnecessary to show the 'ohms' symbol, because '5M' would normally be attached to the circuit symbol for resistance.

A series circuit has individual resistor values of 200 ohms 86 ohms 91 ohms 180 ohms and 150 ohms What is the total resistance of the circuit?
In a series circuits, you simply add the the values of each resistor and that is you answer. i.e. - 200 + 86 + 91 + 180 + 150 = 707 ohms
Does an open resistor measure 0 ohms?
No, an open resistor has a value of infinity. An open resistor typically will measure over 900 Megohms. A zero ohm resistor is exactly that, and will measure zero ohms. They are typically surface-mount devices.
What is a fixed resistor measured in?
Resistance is measured in ohms.
What is the function of 240 ohms resistor?
To provide 240 ohms of resistance. What those 240 ohms do in an actual circuit depends on the intention of the designer.
How do you place 3 resistance to get the total resistance of 1 ohm?
It depends on the resistance of each resistor. If each resistor, for example, is 0.333 ohm, then you could connect them in series. If each resistor, for example, is 3 ohms, then you could connect them in parallel.
How many ohms is a 1R5 resistor?
The answer is 1.5 ohms. The 'R' is a multiplier (x1), and its position is the decimal point. So 1R5 means 1.5. Similarly, 15R would mean 15 ohms, and R15 would mean 0.15 ohms. If the letter 'k' was used, then 1K5 would mean 1.5 kilohms If the letter 'M' was used, then 1M5 would represent 1.5 megohms, etc.
What are resistor values defined by?
Resistor value is defined by the Resistance the resistor offers in Kilo ohms/ohms value given by color codes on the resistor.
What is resistor unit?
Ohms
How do you determine shorted resistor?
A short circuit is an unexpected path of zero resistance between two nodes in a circuit. If you measure the resistance of a resistor, and find that is has zero ohms, but the resistor is supposed to be somthing else, such as 100 ohms, then you can conclude that the resistor is shorted. Keep in mind that the precision of the measurement might be critical. If the resistor is supposed to be 100 ohms, but you get zero ohms, then the answer is easy. If the resistor is 0.001 ohms, but you get zero ohms, then you have to consider the precision of the measurement, the resistance of the wires, etc.
Is the resistance value of the resistor 22000 ohms 22 megohm resistor?
22Kiloohm is 22,000 ohms 22megohm is 22,000,000 ohms Kilo is a thousand meg/mega is a million
What is the value in ohms of a resistor colored yellow yellow red?
4400 Ohms

Can you used 2.2 ohms resistor for home appliances?
no
What does it mean if a resistor is marked 4k2?
4200 ohms
What is a fixed resistor measured in?
Resistance is measured in ohms.
In a parallel circuit the smallest resistor is 500 ohms. What is the largest value this parallel circuit can have?
500 ohms.
