i would be talking about a little math trick so i know how much watts and amps are resisted with the resistor i'm using

The "little math trick" is called Ohm's law and is the most basic equation in electric circuits. As stated above, the formula (as usually expressed) is

E = I*R ; I = E/R; R = E/I

For power (watts)

W = E*I; W =( I^2)*R; W =( E^2)/R

the relationship is V=IR v=volt,i=current(amps), r=resistance(ohms)

if you know any two, you can calculate the third

if you have a 120V circuit, across a 10-ohm resister at equilibrium, you will get 12 amps of current flow

Run to Rona and buy a volt meter.
