Resistive divider when R1 = R2, split voltage in half because V = IR, and resistors in series add as Rtot = R1 + R2. It seems like this must break down as R1/2 approach 0 ohms. Anyone have a good explanation of the boundaries for when resistive divider behaves as the ideal in the equations? *The wires can be assumed to be zero resistance, or, to be removed and just the resistors used for the circuit.*
