ohms = volts/amperes
6 ohms = 120 volts / 20 amperes
They use a color code. Colored bands on the resistor that tell the value. Some precision resistors have their value written on them.
This depends on whether your resistors are in serial or parallel. If they are in serial, the value of the resistors just adds up, so : Val(total) = val(single) x n(umber of resistors) If they are in parallel, each added resistor lowers the total value, while the power rating rises : Val(t) = 1/ ( val(s) x n)
A; occasionally resistors short out especially at hi frequency hi voltage due to external contamination. But usually resistors open up or change to a hi value due to power overstress
5000 For Parallel resistors: Rtotal = R / N Rtotal is total resistance R = Value of resistors N = number of resistors 15 = 75000 / N N = 5000
The resistance, the precision of that value, the thermal or electrical environment, the style of indicating these values. There are wire-wound resistors, cracked carbon resistors, carbon resistors and so on.

Fixed resistors have a single, predetermined ohmic value. These resistors come in various types such as carbon film, metal film, and wirewound, and their resistance value does not change once manufactured.
EXACTLY
No.
Two resistors wired in parallel means that both resistors are soldered together to equal the value of a smaller resistor value. Both resistors will be connected to the same line on the circuit board and then both will terminate on the same final line they are assigned to. Thus, a pair of 100k ohm resistors can take the place of one 50k ohm.
Fixed
The value of shipments in the electronic resistors industry in 2001 was $712.9 million, down from $981.7 million in 2000 and $970.6 million in 1999.

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
6.8 ohms is a standard value, and 6.8 is within 0.74% of 6.75. If you need a precise value, use a potentiometer or start playing with resistors, because resistors have tolerance and you will not be able to build an exact 6.75 by just looking at values - you need to measure combinations.
