The Attempt at a Solution
I DONT HAVE A CLUE...
Really stumped on this one an could do with some explaining this to me in as simpler terms as possible. sorry to sound thick...
I understand we split the 10kΩ resister into 2 so we have 2 5kΩ resisters in series and that we are looking for a ration but that is as far as i seem to understand.
Ive gone through previous posts but seem to get confused with x10k and (1-x)10k.
Please help as i have been on this for weeks and getting peed off with myself for not understanding it.
