Homework Statement
I'm confused because in my textbook, it says that when R is large, there is very little current and if it is small, there is more current through it when there's a potential difference across the resistor...but like in another book, it says that current is not used up when current flows through the resistor, that the number of charges that leave one terminal of the battery is exactly equal to the number that enter via the other terminal...it seems kind of contradictory...maybe I'm just misunderstanding it, but which explanation makes more sense?
