[R] PCA and % variance explained

After doing a PCA using princomp, how do you view how much each component
contributes to variance in the dataset. I'm still quite new to the theory of
PCA - I have a little idea about eigenvectors and eigenvalues (these
determine the variance explained?). Are the eigenvalues related to loadings
in R?

Thanks,

Paul
