Scroll down to related links and look at "Color Code Calculator - Resistor values with 4 and 5 color bands".
Variable resistor. The value of the variable resistor can be changed at any given moment.
No, because the power dissipated in a resistor is proportional to the square of the current through the resistor but only directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor (I^2 * R) and the current through the lower value resistor will be higher than the current through the higher value resistor, the lower value resistor will usually dissipate more power.
There is no relation between the resistor's ohms value and its size. The power of the resistor can be seen by its size. If the power is too small, the resistor can be destroyed.
if not disconnected you will measure the resistance of the circuit in parallel with the resistor.
A precision resistor is a resistor that has an actual value that is very close (or precise) to its nominal (or stated value). Therefore, precision resistors have a very degree of accuracy of being very close to their nominal values.
Use a digital ohm meter as opposed to attempting to read the lettering on the chip. This will give you an immediate value that will fall within the tolerance of the chip resistor.
To read the value of a resistor: Resistors are color coded, you can use the chart found below And how accurate the values of resistors are is their tolerance, also found in the chart
Resistor value is defined by the Resistance the resistor offers in Kilo ohms/ohms value given by color codes on the resistor.

The colored bands on a resistor represent the resistor value and tolerance. The first two bands indicate the significant digits of the resistance value, the third band represents the multiplier, and the fourth band (if present) indicates the tolerance of the resistor. By decoding these colors, you can determine the resistance value of the resistor.
Basically you can either read the resistance that is printed on the resistor (with a special color code, which you would have to learn), or you can use Ohm's Law, by measuring a voltage through the resistor and the corresponding current. I am not aware of any third method.
An ohmmeter is a calibrated circuit that puts current through the resistor to measure its value. If something else is also putting current through the resistor that the meter doesn't know about, the meter calibration is disturbed and a false reading results. It may even damage the meter.
The first 3 band on a resistor indicate the value of that resistor.
if not disconnected you will measure the resistance of the circuit in parallel with the resistor.
It depends on what is wrong with the resistor. If it is damaged, replace it with the same type, value and power rating. If it is the wrong value and is not damaged, you can increase the value by placing another in series or reduce the value by placing another in parallel. If the resistor is variable type, you should be able to adjust it.
