Voltage Divider, Potentiometers, Shorts and Ground = DC Electronics Topic # 5

Greetings Friends, Today we learn about how series circuits ‘divide’ voltage, how to build circuits on breadboards, how to measure voltages, currents and resistances on breadboards. Importantly, learn how to replace damaged DMM fuses. Short circuits in electronics and potentiometers for breadboards are introduced.
