Default does bigger rear sprocket= less speed?

I was wondering if putting a bigger sprocket on the rear would make my bike go faster or slower. i think it would make it go slower but i have never messed with sprockets so i dont know. i probably sound really dumb, but oh well

takes away from the top end but gives you better accelleration.
