In this paper, we attach certain graphs to both the additive and the multiplication groups of a finite field. Then we prove fundamental decomposition theorem for graphs of finite fields. We ascertain that the characteristic of the field plays a significant role for the parameters of these graphs. We provide some examples of non-complete power graphs for finite fields. Further, we explain our methods and results by tables at the end.
