Transistor

Okay, I already realized that I needed to use a MOSFET transistor. If I use five heating elements I have to put a transistor in front of each one? How do I know how much current a transistor is going to provide me? And if I do not want to reach temperatures are too high, let's say 50 degrees? Am I using the resistor? And if so, where in the electric circuit do I place it? ... If I understand correctly, i don't need to change my code, I just do a high / low with digitalwrite?

Thanks you very much!
