Ohm and Kirchhoff's laws?

Ohm and Kirchhoff are both amazing people to have been able to find such discoveries long ago which helps us even today. What are these laws?

Let's start with the Ohm's law which states that a section of current which is going through a conductor is proportional to the voltage/potential difference as well as inversely proportional to the resistance which is between them.

Now, Kirchhoff has come up with not one but two laws. The first law being the current law which states that the total amount of current/charge traveling through a node is proportional to the charge leaving the node.

The second law of Kirchhoff is the voltage law which states that in a circuit, the total voltage around the loop is equivalent to the total of all voltage drops within that same loop.
