Electricity spools up in a capacitor and is then let out at a consistent rate. It does not necessarily flow in at a consistent rate though. A resistor acts as a dampening widget to keep power coming in at too heavy a rate from advancing and burning something up downstream of the resistor. A consistent or at least a no-greater-than-X amount of electricity should also thus emerge from a resistor. I guess when a breaker in tripped a power surge has made it beyond the safeguards and caused havoc.
