A Resistor Is Used To Limit The Current In A Circuit

Further Answer

A resistor is sometimes used to modify the natural resistance of a circuit -e.g. by adding a resistor in series, you can increase the natural resistance; by adding a resistor in parallel, you can decrease the natural resistance. Two or more resistors can be used to create a voltage divider -a method of obtaining a voltage lower than the supply voltage in a d.c. circuit.
Use of resistor is to produce a particular amount of resistance to the flow of current
