A resistor affects the flow of electricity in a circuit by reducing the current that flows through it. This reduction in current leads to a decrease in voltage across the resistor.
A resistor reduces the flow of current in an electrical circuit, which in turn affects the voltage across the resistor.
A resistor limits current in an electrical circuit by impeding the flow of electrons, which reduces the amount of current passing through it. This, in turn, helps regulate the voltage in the circuit by creating a drop in voltage across the resistor.
A resistor reduces voltage in an electrical circuit by converting some of the electrical energy into heat. This process slows down the flow of electricity, resulting in a decrease in voltage across the resistor.
The rule for voltage across each resistor in a series circuit is that the total voltage supplied by the source is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each resistor is the same and equal to the source voltage.
Resistors drop voltage in an electrical circuit by impeding the flow of current, causing a voltage drop across the resistor according to Ohm's Law (V I R). This results in a decrease in voltage across the resistor, allowing for control and regulation of the electrical current in the circuit.

A resistor develops a voltage differential when current is passed through it. Ohm's law: Voltage is current times resistance.
A resistor does not only decrease current in a circuit it can also reduce tension(voltage) if connected in series.
A resistor in a sensor circuit is used as a simple way to monitor the function of the circuit. The resistor has a calibrated and known voltage drop and current while the circuit is "normal". If there is a short-circuit, or an open-circuit, the voltage and current will change and trigger the trouble alarm.

* resistance increases voltage. Adding more resistance to a circuit will alter the circuit pathway(s) and that change will force a change in voltage, current or both. Adding resistance will affect circuit voltage and current differently depending on whether that resistance is added in series or parallel. (In the question asked, it was not specified.) For a series circuit with one or more resistors, adding resistance in series will reduce total current and will reduce the voltage drop across each existing resistor. (Less current through a resistor means less voltage drop across it.) Total voltage in the circuit will remain the same. (The rule being that the total applied voltage is said to be dropped or felt across the circuit as a whole.) And the sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is equal to the applied voltage, of course. If resistance is added in parallel to a circuit with one existing circuit resistor, total current in the circuit will increase, and the voltage across the added resistor will be the same as it for the one existing resistor and will be equal to the applied voltage. (The rule being that if only one resistor is in a circuit, hooking another resistor in parallel will have no effect on the voltage drop across or current flow through that single original resistor.) Hooking another resistor across one resistor in a series circuit that has two or more existing resistors will result in an increase in total current in the circuit, an increase in the voltage drop across the other resistors in the circuit, and a decrease in the voltage drop across the resistor across which the newly added resistor has been connected. The newly added resistor will, of course, have the same voltage drop as the resistor across which it is connected.

A resistor drops both voltage and current, however the term "drop" is generally used to indicate a voltage or current drop across the device, so it is more correctly stated that a resistor drops voltage, by allowing the current in the circuit to decrease.
The reduction of voltage or the increase of resistance will reduce the current in a circuit.
Resistor is an eletrical and electronical part whose function is to decrease the value of the voltage in a circuit, consequently reducing the value of the current, which is measured in Amperes.
