In an electronic circuit, the potential difference across any one resistor is a fraction of the total voltage applied across the series combination. Such a circuit is called a voltage divider circuit.
The voltage across R2 is given by:
\(V_2=V\times {R_2\over R_1+R_2}\)
The voltage across R1 is given by:
\(V_1=V\times {R_1\over R_1+R_2}\)
Additional Information When two branches are connected in parallel, a current is to be found in any one of the branches the current divider rule is used.
\(I_1=I\times {R_2\over R_1+R_2}\)
& \(I_2=I\times {R_1\over R_1+R_2}\)
