Voltage dividers theory (National 5 Physics)

The voltage divider is just a simple series circuit. If you know how current behaves in a series circuit and can calculate total resistance in the circuit then you'll be able to work out the voltages across the components. In this video, you'll learn 5 rules about voltage dividers as well as the equations which you'll need to answer questions about them.
