Resistance is measured in Ohms (Ω), kilohms (1,000Ω=1kΩ) or Megohms (1,000,000Ω =1MΩ)
Resistors can go in the circuit either way round.
The value is marked on the device with a color code (see right), or it can be measured with
almost any multimeter.
A shorthand is often used to write the value of a resistor. For example: “100R”=100Ω
“10k”=10kΩ “4k7”=4.7kΩ
Some resistors used in these experiments: 220R – Red, Red, Brown 1k – Brown, Black, Red
10k – Brown, Black, Orange 100k – Brown, Black, Yellow.
