Kirchoff's Laws/Potential Divider - NEED HELP
Do resistors in series have the same voltage across them? As I know that resistors in parallel do have the same voltage. Also in which circumstances do we could I use the potential divider formula?
When in series, current is the same, when in parallel, voltage is the same. So you'd only need to use the potential divider formula when in series.
