help with electronic basic question 1 - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

am in need of this info

if there is a 20v p.s going thru a 10 ohm resistor (in series) then go to 2- 20 ohm resistors in parallel. whats the voltage drop across the 20ohm resistors.

i know the same voltage is applied across each branch so would you find the total resistence and treat it as a series circuit (another 10 ohms)

whaT next

You are correct. The 2 20 ohm resistors in paralell would equall a 10 ohm resistor. So the voltage drop across each of the 10 ohm resistors would be the same.
