Although the same current (electrons per second) flows out of the component as flows in, the total current in the circuit is controlled by the resistance of the circuit. If you want make a brighter light bulb, do you want to increase the resistance or decrease the resistance of the filament? (Hint: The brightness increases if more current flows.)
