Homework Statement
What exactly happens to the voltage...
in between things such as resistors, and bulbs?
It isn't a homework question it is just something that is bothering me.
Homework Equations
V=IR for resistors
Sum of V in a closed loop is zero.
The Attempt at a Solution
If there was a circuit that had nothing but a battery, would the potential difference everywhere be equal to the V of the battery?
If there was a battery, and a resistor in a circuit. Then we know that V-IR=0. And we know that V=IR. So the voltage of the battery and the resistor are equal. Well what is the voltage in the wire between the the battery and the resistor?
