Hi, can anyone explain to me how voltage-divider and current-divider work physically? Like in terms of forces, fields, potentials of charges... etc..

Thank you!

More like using Ohm's law, no ?

Yeah.. I know how to use and solve the them.
But I'm just not quite understand how do they work physically.

Thanks.
