The positive of a resistor is where the current enters the resistor. The negative of a resistor is where the current leaves the resistor. The longer terminal of a battery is positive while the shorter terminal is negative. When crossing an element from positive to negative, we use a negative sign. When crossing an element from negative to positive we use positive sign.
The voltage across a resistor, V= IR.
