: The greater the [[Electrical Resistance|resistance]] of a [[resistor]] the smaller the [[Electrical Current|current]] will be.
: The [[Electrical Resistance|resistance]] of a [[resistor]] can be found by attaching an [[ammeter]] in [[Series Circuit|series]] with the [[resistor]] and a [[voltmeter]] in [[Parallel Circuit|parallel]] with the [[resistor]].
: All [[electrical componentComponent|component]]s in a [[circuit]] act as [[resistor]]s, including [[wire]]s. The longer a [[wire]] the more [[Electrical Resistance|resistance]] it will have to a [[Electrical Current|current]].
