The video tutorial, hosted by Cody, covers the basics of resistors, their types, and their effects on circuits. It explains how to determine resistor values using color codes and provides detailed analysis of series, voltage divider, and parallel circuits. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of checking resistor values with a multimeter due to potential manufacturing variances.

What is the primary function of a fixed resistor in a circuit?
