Two questions:
Is a voltage drop a change in the voltage across an element (diode, resistor)?
For my next question I have a circuit with R1 and R2 in series and R3 and R4 in Parallel:
So if I have two elements in series where there is a voltage drop, and I am supplying my circuit with 9v, then the voltage that exists beyond R1 and R2 is decreased. So the voltage that R3 and R4 receive is different that for R1+R2. Does this sound right?
Well apparently the code block tag doesn't format my nice ASCII (or thereabouts) graphic of my circuit. So fill in what you can with your imagination
