Is it acceptable to think of a voltage divider as a series of separate circuits all with the same power supply but each with a different set of resistors?
Can You Consider a Voltage Divider as Multiple Independent Circuits?

SUMMARY
A voltage divider cannot be accurately considered as multiple independent circuits, even though they share the same power supply. When one circuit is loaded, it affects the voltage across the other circuits due to the series configuration of the resistors. This interdependence means that the behavior of each circuit is not isolated, leading to potential inaccuracies in analysis if treated as separate entities.
