Do you know?
Coulomb's law is used for describing the electrostatic interaction between electrically charged particles.
Gauss's law, also known as
Gauss's flux theorem, is a law relating the distribution of electric charge to the resulting electric field.
Gauss's law states that
The net outward normal electric flux through any closed surface is proportional to the total electric charge enclosed within that closed surface.
Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points
Kirchoffs Laws: Study from Wikipedia about these topics
There are two laws
Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) & Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL)
Law I: Kirchhoff's first law, Kirchhoff's point rule

This law explains than the sum of all the currents meeting at any point is zero.In the above Diagram the Sum of all the currents i1 + i2 + i3 + i4 = 0 or i1 + i2 = i3 + i4
Law II: Kirchhoff's second law, Kirchhoff's loop (or mesh) rule
![\sum_{k=1}^n V_k = 0](http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/0/8/d/08d7bd7060be987d4da37b7fc263a740.png)
Here, n is the total number of voltages measured. The voltages may also be complex:
