To use voltage and current division to analyze resistive circuits. two of the most valuable circuit analysis techniques you will have at your disposal are voltage and current division. using these techniques can greatly simplify the analysis of many complex circuits. as a result, the ability to recognize when they can be used is an important skill to acquire. before beginning this tutorial, make sure you are able to identify resistors that are in series and in parallel; for these resistors, you should be able to calculate their equivalent resistances.
