Ohm's Law

Definition and calculation
R = {V \over I}Resistance is the measure of the opposition to the current flow.

you can calculate to resistance using the formula R=V/I, resistance = voltage (volts) / current (ampere)

Factor that determine Resistance 
-thinner wires have a greater resistance then larger wires
-temperature
-marterial
-length
-cross-sectional area

Kirchhoff's laws

Kirchhoff's current law; The total amount of current that flows in to a point of a circuit the same amount comes out.
kirchhoff's voltage law: The total of all decrease in voltage will be gained back in the circuit loop.

Therefore his law states that in any circuit there is no gain or loss in charge.
