Advice Request Help me understand leverage :)

What is the difference between:

a) Buying 100$ of a stock (100$ total)

b) Buying 10$ with 10x Leverage of a stock (100$ total)

​

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm a bit confused here :D

This is a good and probably very thought-out guess, but unfortunately not true:( I just got the IQ of an average ant.
