A voltage divider is a circuit that produces an output voltage that is proportional to the input voltage. One typical configuration consists of a pair of resistors in series from the input voltage to ground, with the output voltage taken from the junction of the resistors. As an example: two equal-valued resistors will give an output voltage that is 50% of the input voltage.

Confusion with voltage drop equation

I had never really thought of resistors causing a voltage drop, I have only used them to limit current to say an LED. Using something such as E = IR I can use a single resistor as an example: 5v / 1 …
