Note that source voltage v is divided among the resistors in direct proportion to their
resistances
This is regarded as the principle of voltage division
In general, if a voltage supply has N resistors in series with the source voltage v, the
nth resistor (Rn) can be expressed as:
Rn
Vn =
R1 + R2 + …+ RN
VI. Parallel Resistors and Current Division
> What is Parallel?
Two or more elements are in parallel if they are connected to the same two nods
and consequently have the same voltages across them.
The equivalent resistance o 2 parallel resistors is equal to the product of their
resistance divided by their sum.
