LEARNING  OBJECTIVES and NOTES 

Understand that two or more resistors can be arranged to act as a potential divider and apply the formula.
Two resistors in series can be used as a potential divider to create a new voltage. For example creating a voltage for the base of a transistor, in volume controls and providing a voltage for a varicap diode.
