Terminology
You're asking about amounts of "electricity", but that's an ill-defined term. Physics knows measurable quantities like:
- Power, expressed in Watt units (W), telling how much work (e.g. heat) can be delivered per time unit. For a light bulb, it roughly corresponds to its brightness. Power can be computed as the product of current and voltage.
- Current, expressed in Ampere (A), telling how many electrons flow through a given point / wire / ...
- Voltage, expressed in Volt (V), not so easy to explain in everyday language. You can roughly think of it like a pressure or force that drives the electrons through the wires.
- Resistance (e.g. of a wire), expressed in Ohm (Ω), telling you how much voltage you need (and therefore lose) to make a given amount of current flow through the wire. The voltage needed is the product of resistance and current (Ohm's Law).
Example
Let's say, your bulb is meant for 9V, 0.1A, and the length of wire you use has 1Ω resistance.
As electrons don't accumulate in places (at least not in simple circuits like yours), all electrons entering a point also exit it (at the opposite side), meaning that the same current is observed in every place in the conductors as well as through the bulb.
What about the voltages? You start with 9V at the battery, and this has to be divided between the voltage needed to "push" the electrons through the resistive wire, and the voltage arriving at the bulb.
With 1Ω resistance and a 0.1A current (1 - see below), the voltage loss is 0.1V, meaning that only 8.9V arrive at the bulb, meaning that it will be a little dimmer than expected.
The battery provides a power of 0.9W (9V * 0.1A), and this gets split:
- 0.01W (0.1V * 0.1A) is lost in the wires (heating them up),
- 0.89W (8.9V * 0.1A) are consumed by the bulb (producing light and heat).
The greater the wire resistance, the more of the precious battery power gets wasted in the wire.
Summary
All the current the battery provides also arrives at the bulb.
At the bulb, the voltage is lower than the voltage provided by the battery, the difference being lost over the wires.
Part of the electrical power that the battery delivers is lost over the wires, only the remaining amount can do useful work. The light is dimmer.
If instead of a light bulb you want to drive a heater (not very practical from a small 9V battery), it will be slower, meaning to take longer to reach the same temperature.
(1) To be exact, a 9V, 0.1A bulb will draw a bit less than 0.1A when supplied with only 8.9V instead of 9V, but let's ignore that here...
