Generally lower earth resistance is preferable but for certain applications following earth resistance are satisfactory
Large Power Station s– 0.5 Ohm
Major Power Stations - 1.0 Ohm
Small Substation – 2.0 Ohm
In all Other Cases – 8.0 Ohm
The reading of 14.65 on the 20k setting means 14.65K Ohms, and you probably need to go back and re-read the instructions for the meter. If, for instance, you used a 2M scale, if you had one, you would get 0.014, but the result would not be very accurate, as you need to pick a range that is close to maximum reading for that range. It is normal procedure to start with a high range and come down in range as you approach an on scale reading.

The resistor with the color code red-red-brown-silver has a resistance of 22 ohms with a tolerance of ±10%. The minimum resistance is 19.8 ohms (22 - 10% of 22), and the maximum resistance is 24.2 ohms (22 + 10% of 22). Using Ohm's Law (I = V/R), the minimum current is approximately 0.76 A (15 V / 19.8 ohms) and the maximum current is about 0.62 A (15 V / 24.2 ohms).
A; it is to match the cable line impedance to the receiver for maximum transfer of energy
To determine the largest value a resistor can be while still being in tolerance, you need to know the resistor's nominal value and its tolerance percentage. For example, if a resistor has a nominal value of 100 ohms with a tolerance of 5%, the maximum allowable resistance would be 100 ohms + (5% of 100 ohms), which is 105 ohms. Thus, the largest value the resistor can be while remaining in tolerance is 105 ohms.
An acceptable resistance for a ground to ground plate system is 2 ohms with a maximum allowance to 5 ohms. If the measured resistance is above 5 ohms more grounding rods or plates have to be added to reduce the resistance down to the acceptable levels.
The grounding system of a distribution must be from zero ohms to a maximum of two ohms. This is usually obtained by bonding all metallic parts back to the distribution centre with a wire capable of handling the circuits fault current if the circuit should ground out. The ground wire in cable sets is used for this purpose.
Less than >25 olms.
5 ohms
To determine if a wire is grounding out, use a multimeter set to test for continuity or a short circuit. Place one probe on the wire you suspect is grounding out and the other on a known ground point. If the multimeter beeps or shows a reading of zero ohms, the wire is grounding out.

Code requires that the resistance between the two grounding electrodes be 25 ohms or less. You don't mention how deep they are or how far apart they are. THat will make a difference. Or it could be the soil they are in.You need to get the resistance down

To calculate the ohm reading of a 4500-watt baseboard heater, you would need to know the voltage it operates at. You can use the formula Ohms = (Voltage x Voltage) / Watts to find the resistance in ohms. For example, if the heater operates at 240 volts, the ohm reading would be approximately 12.8 ohms.
The resistance of ground rods typically ranges from 1 to 25 ohms, depending on factors such as soil conductivity, rod material, length, and installation method. Ideally, grounding systems should aim for a resistance of 5 ohms or less for effective grounding. However, in some cases, achieving lower resistance may require multiple ground rods or additional grounding techniques. Always consult local codes and standards for specific requirements.
