Resistors are measured in units of Ohms (Ω).
forcing a constant current and measuring the voltage across the unknown resistor.
if not disconnected you will measure the resistance of the circuit in parallel with the resistor.
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.
The current would be about 20 volts.
A zero-ohm resistor does not exist, so we are talking about an ideal resistor. An ideal resistor is needed for description in a circuit, where we lump all wire/parasitic resistances into discrete resistors, but the wire joining two discrete resistors is considered to have no resistance. My definition: a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that does not consume energy when a current exists in the resistor. Alternatively, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that cannot sustain any potential drop when a current is on. Thirdly, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that will conduct an infinite current when a voltage is applied across it.
Connecting an ammeter in series with a resistor in a circuit will not affect the current through the resistor. The ammeter measures the current passing through it, so it becomes part of the circuit and simply measures the current flowing through the resistor without changing it.
I assume that the person asking the question meant "open OR shorted" as these are opposite terms. Most resistors will open when they are damaged. It is very rare to find one that is shorted. To determine if the resistor is open or shorted simply use a multimeter set to measure ohms. Place the leads across the resistor and it should read the resistance value of the resistor. If it measures max range of the meter (some digitals will display "OL") then the resistor is open. If it measures 0 or very close then it is shorted, which as mentioned above, is unlikely.
Mine measures 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 ohms

yes, a variable resistor
Otis F. Boykin invented the wire precision resistor and the electrical resistor.
A non-ohmic resistor doesn't have a constant resistance. A ohmic resistor has a constant resistance.
A cement resistor is typically used as a power resistor (a resistor whose power rating is greater than 1 W).
Resistor value is defined by the Resistance the resistor offers in Kilo ohms/ohms value given by color codes on the resistor.
The Cable is the Resistor ! Its a Resistor-Cable ! Greets from the Lake of Constance/Germany !
Where would you find a material which is a resistor? You can find a resistor material in Europe
