Ok, let's say you have a 100v voltage supply and two 50 Ohm resistors in a series circuit. The total resistance is 100 Ohms, leading to a current of 1 amp.
Now my question is, what exactly is voltage drop? I know the voltage drop across each resistor is 50 volts. If we were to look at one of the resistors, would it act AS IF it were it's own little circuit with a 50v voltage supply? (As 50 volts divided by 50 ohms is 1 amp, just like the "parent" circuit)
