Hi guys. I'm new here and need a little help with a very beginner question about how a resistor would affect the current in a circuit.
Basically, if I had a simple circuit consisting of just a battery and a wire going from the + to - terminal, and I then placed a resistor in this circuit, would the resisitor cause the current to decrease at every point in the circuit or just across the resistor itself?
I know this is probably an easy one to answer, but I can't get my head around it.
