In most instances, the voltage across a piece of material is proportional to the current that flows through it
This is known as Ohm’s law and is usually written as
The constant of proportionality is called resistance, R, and has units of Ohms (Ω)
IRV
In a circuit diagram we draw resistance like this

A circuit element is in series with another circuit element if at least one side of the element is attached to a side of the another element and nothing else.
A circuit element is in parallel with another circuit element if both sides of the element are attached to separate sides of another element and at least one other thing.
Circuits will often have elements in combination of series and parallel sets.

The direction of the magnetic field vector at any point in space is easily found by using a smaller magnet. This smaller magnet we call a compass.
