The Largest Series R Has the Most V
The fact that series voltage drops are proportional to the
resistances means that a very small R in series with a much
larger R has a negligible IR drop.

Series Voltage Divider with Parallel Load Current
▪ The voltage dividers shown so far illustrate just a series string without any branch currents. However, a voltage
divider is often used to tap off part of the applied voltage for a load that needs less voltage than Vt . Then the added
load is a parallel branch across part of the divider
