A series circuit is a current divider and a parallel circuit is a voltage divider circuit.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A series circuit is not a current divider. In a series circuit, the same current flows through each component. A parallel circuit is a current divider, as the current is split between the branches. Similarly, a parallel circuit is not a voltage divider, as the same voltage is applied across each branch. A series circuit is a voltage divider, as the voltage is divided between the components.
