I know that current is the same in a series circuit becuase the current only has one path to flow but I'm confused on how resistors work in series. WhatFrom what I've read is that current is the same before and after a resistor (Eg. if 500ma flow into a resistor 500ma flow out of the resistor) so what is the resistor actually limiting?
