"Current" means the number of electrons that move past a point in the circuit every second.
We have to talk about the law of "Conservation of charge".
Think of 'current' as a flood of actual, little tiny physical 'pieces' of electric charge, little tiny glowing brown basketballs, parading through the circuit. If a million of them come out of one terminal of the battery, then after they make their way around the circuit, a million of them eventually have to return to the other terminal of the battery. Not only that ... wherever you choose to sit in the circuit and count how many of them march by you, there had better be a million pass by you too.
These little guys live in the battery or power supply. They can be coaxed out temporarily to spend some time flowing in a circuit, but they'll only come out if there's a way for them to return immediately to the battery or power supply.
During this whole process, these charges can't be created or destroyed. Whatever number of them leave the power supply or battery, they stay in line just like ants. They don't pass each other, they don't pile up, they don't drop back and leave holes in the parade. None leak out and get lost, and no new ones crash the line from outside. Every one of them marches along at the same speed, each one passes every point in the circuit, and every one of them, in its turn, returns to the power supply. Wherever in the loop you decide to watch and count, they pass you at the same rate, which is the current at that point.
Since charge is never created or destroyed, the current in a series loop must be the same at every point. If you take a course in Introduction to Electronics 101, you'll learn Kirchhoff's Law along about the 3rd day in class. The playful description above is it.

How do resistors affect the change in current flowing through a circuit?
Resistors in a circuit reduce the flow of current by impeding the movement of electrons. This causes a decrease in the overall current flowing through the circuit.
How is a circuit constructed with five resistors and a battery as shown?
A circuit with five resistors and a battery is constructed by connecting the resistors in series or parallel to create a closed loop for the flow of electric current from the battery through the resistors. The battery provides the energy for the current to flow through the resistors, which resist the flow of current. The arrangement of the resistors and the battery determines the overall resistance and current flow in the circuit.
How do resistors limit the flow of current in a circuit?
Resistors limit the flow of current in a circuit by impeding the movement of electrons, causing a drop in voltage and reducing the overall current passing through the circuit.

The sum of currents across the resistors equals the currents through the source in which type of circuit?
In parallel circuit the current through the resistors are different in values depending upon the values of resistors. But the sum of the currents across all the resistors will be equal to the current through the sourcgsvg bdjasuhafyuhda
How do resistors affect current flow in an electrical circuit?

You are just asking that let us assume you have connected 2 or 3 resistors in a circuit and the current flowing through the circuit and from all the resistors will be same but how?
If the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance will be the sum of the resistances of each resistor, and the current flow will be the same thru all of them. if the resistors are connected in parallel, then the current thru each resistor would depend on the resistance of that resistor, the total resistance would be the inverse of the sum of the inverses of the resistance of each resistor. Total current would depend on the voltage and the total resistance
How do resistors affect the flow of current in an electrical circuit?
Resistors in an electrical circuit limit the flow of current by impeding the movement of electrons. They reduce the amount of current that can pass through a circuit, which helps control the voltage and prevent damage to components.
How do resistors affect a circuit?
It reduces the current. As the current travels through the resitors it has some current that is left in the resistor. And
How do resistors work in a circuit to regulate the flow of electric current?
Resistors work in a circuit by impeding the flow of electric current, which helps regulate the amount of current that passes through the circuit. They do this by converting electrical energy into heat energy as the current passes through them, which reduces the overall flow of current in the circuit. This helps control the voltage and current levels in the circuit, allowing for proper functioning of electronic devices.
What quantity varies place to place in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit, the current flowing through each branch varies from place to place because the total current splits up and takes different paths. Voltage remains the same across all branches in a parallel circuit.
