Yes, actually voltage divider is in series but load connection is in parallel with those one of the resistance so in parallel the resistance decreases.

HOW?

Pooja said:   1 decade ago
Because the resistors will be parallel and thus resisitance will decrease. !

SAMRAT said:   1 decade ago
This is correct explanation.

Prasanna said:   1 decade ago
How


Voltage divider is when resistance is connected in series.. And when load is connected to existing resistance in series then total resistance will be increased.

Priyanka said:   1 decade ago
Yeah, I agree with @Prasanna. Only resistors in series are voltage dividers. In parallel, current is split but not voltage. So adding another resistor to series should increase resistance, not reduce.

Pavan said:   1 decade ago
Yeah, I agree with both @Prasanna and @Priyanka. Voltage gets divided in series circuits and current gets divided in parallel circuits. So definitely resistance will increase.

Sai said:   1 decade ago
Voltage divider is a series resistors i.e,. divided into different voltages then resistance will decreases.

Vertically three resistors are connected from that voltage divider for example 555 timer circuit so resistance decreases.

Bhagchand said:   1 decade ago
Yes I agree with resistance is decrease.

Take a simple voltage divider circuit then you will get know total resistance decrease.
