A battery drives a steady current

I=2.0\,\text{A}

through a single-loop circuit with one resistor. Charge is not created or destroyed; it redistributes in the conducting wires while the surrounding plastic insulation prevents charge leakage. Based on the described process, how does the current in the wire change as it passes through the resistor?
