Resistors are components in electronic circuits that limit curent. 1K2 is a 1.2 Kilo ohm resistor. To say "what does it do" is too general a question. Suffice it to say that they are ubiquitous items that have many uses in electronics generally limiting current with effects on voltage when used properly in pairs or with resistive loads.
