The ohm is the resistance of a conductor through which a current of
one ampere is flowing when a potential difference of one volt exists
across its ends.

The EMF of a cell is the maximum terminal potential difference when

no current is being drawn from the cell.
Resistivity is an intrinsic property that quantifies how strongly a
given material opposes the flow of electric current. (m)

Resistance is a measure of the difficulty to pass an electric current

through a conductor. ()
Conductivity is a measure of its ability to conduct electricity. (Sm-1)
Conductance is the degree to which an object conducts electricity,
calculated as the ratio of the current that flows to the potential
difference present. (S)

Kirchhoffs Voltage Law states that the sum of voltages in a closed

loop is 0 volts.
Kirchhoffs Current Law states that the sum of all current entering or
leaving a node is 0 amperes.
A Wheatstone bridge is a circuit consisting of two voltage dividers
connected in parallel. In a balanced Wheatstone bridge, the centre
current is zero.
