Lesson Summary:
Learn how to identify Voltage Divider circuits and how to use them to solve circuit problems.  

Voltage dividers are useful when we wish to take a source voltgage and reduce it to some other desired voltage. For example, if I have a 10 Volt source but need only 3 volts to run my circuit, I might use a voltage divider to reduce the input voltage to 3 volts for my application
