I’ve known about voltage dividers forever, but this is the first time I’ve actually understood them. You have a very intuitive way of explaining things.
I have a resistor divider in a game gear that's not working. 5v in is present, ground is present but at the point it should be 2.5v its 5v. I took the resistors out of the circuit and they both measure their respective 10k resistance. I am a little stumped as to what could be the fault here. I notice if i measure the top resistor on the board it acts like a short. Under the resistor there is a trace that goes from the ground up, do you think I am somehow shorted there and its allowing all 5v to pass through? I am kind of stumped.
I fixed it! Your video really helped me visualize what should be happening. Turns out that I had a short on the capacitor that is on circuit. I assume thats why I had the 5v present, but no 2.5 at the other side, it didnt have the current? Does that sound correct or am I still misunderstanding what was causing this issue? Either way removing the capacitor and cleaning the pad resolved it!

You are the best Mr. Bob 👏👍
Great video as always!
That's definitely a different way of looking at the math. I have been practicing the actual formula, but I will try this method also. Thank you
Awesome. Thanks Bob.
Great video sir....Tq very much
Great video.
Thank you
Thanks teacher.

Please show with the load
thank you
