100k - 100r are they the same

I wrote up a glossary detail entry for resistors.

Glossary (wiki)

Resistors: Resistors are devices that obey Ohm’s law: if there is a voltage drop V across a resistor, then a current I flows from the higher voltage to the lower voltage, and I = V/R, where R is the resistance of the device. So a resistor converts a voltage to a current. A larger resistance produces a smaller current, so a resistor can be used to limit current. Two resistors connected together can form a voltage divider whose function is to take one voltage and produce another, proportionally s…
