A resistor reduces the flow of current between two terminals and thus reduces voltage. this is achieved through electrical resistance. All electrical conductors are resisters, some more resistant than others. The less resistance offered by a conductor, the easier it is for electricity to flow, thus the higher the current. Thus resisters allow circuit designers to control the flow of electricity.

A register is a small unit of storage used by a digital processor. Computers typically have a relatively large array of working memory, however all the actual processing is done via a small set of registers. Registers work in much the same way as main memory, typically using a capacitor and transistor pair to denote each bit, however registers are significantly faster. Some registers are used for housekeeping purposes such as to keep track of the next instruction and for marking the top of the program stack, while other are used to provide input and output for the current instruction. In order for an instruction to process a value that value must first be moved to a register, typically one of the accumulator registers. If the instruction requires another operand, it must be moved to another register, typically a user register. After processing, the accumulator's value is moved back to main memory, either by the instruction itself or by a subsequent instruction.
