If the resistors are in series the voltage can not be divided, as it has to pass first through one then the other. The amount of current that flows through a set of resistors in series will be the same at all points and the total resistance in the circuit must be equal to the sum of all the individual resistors added together.
In other words the 22k and 12k Ohm resistors are the sames as a single 34k Ohm resistor.

In a series circuit why does the largest voltage drop occur across the largest or smallest resistor?
It doesn't. In a series circuit, the largest voltage drop occurs across the largest resistor; the smallest voltage drop occurs across the smallest resistor.
How does voltage and resistance behave in a series and a parallel circuit?
The current through each resistor is equal to the voltage across it divided by its resistance for series and parallel circuits.
If as more resistors are connected in series with the first what happens to the potential difference across each resistor?
adding resistors to a string will have the effect of decreasing each resistor voltage drop.
What will happen to the other resistor if the number of resistor decreases?
the voltage across that resistor will increase if it is in series with the other resistors. the current through that resistor will increase if it is in parallel with the other resistors.
What is a protective resistor?
The protecting resistor is put in series with the LED so that you have a voltage divider - the supply voltage is split across the LED ( max 0.6v) and the remainder across the protecting resistor. So if your supply is 6volts, 5.4v will be across the resistor,
Voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistor?
A voltmeter can be connected in parallel with a resistor to show the voltage across the resistor.
What work resistor?
when a resistor is connected in a circuit it drop some voltage across it.when a circuit have large input voltage then by using a resistor of suitable value we get the desired voltage.
Why does a Led have a 470 resistor connected to the LED?
A: That resistor is there to limit the current to the LED it can be any value if the voltage is decreased or increased or no resistor if the voltage across the led is equal to the forward voltage drop.
How you calculate the polarity of voltage source across the resistor when two voltage sources are connected?
A: by using thevenin theorem
What is the current through the 150 ohm resistor?
It depends on the voltage applied across it. But the maximum current is limited by the power-rating of the resistor (power divided by the square of the voltage).
Does voltage flow across or through a resistor?
No. If a voltage is applied across a resistor, a current flows through it.
When resistors are connected in series in a circuit. what are the relationships between the voltage drops across the resistor and the currents through the resistors?
When resistors are connected in series in a circuit . the voltage drop across each resistor will be equal to its resistance, as V=IR, V is direct proportional to R. An A: The relationship is that the current will divide for each paths in a parallel circuit and the voltage drop across each will be the source voltage. In a series circuit the current will remain the same for each component but the voltage will divide to reflect each different component value. And the sum of all of the voltage drops will add to the voltage source
A 4000-Ω resistor is connected across 220 V what current will flow?
A 4000-Ω resistor is connected across 220 V will have a current flow of 0.055 A.Ohm's law: Voltage equals Current times Resistance
What is the current through a 1.5k resistor with voltage of 3V across it?
Two milliamperes. Ohm's law: Current equals voltage divided by resistance.
What is a maximum voltage across a resistor?
The voltage across the resistor is whatever voltage is applied. The only maximum here would be a voltage that would damage the resistor. If you think this might happen, you'll have to look up such a voltage from the data sheets.
What is the rule for voltage across each resistor?
Volt across a resistor = resistance x current through the resistor.
How much forward diode voltage is there with the ideal diode approximation?
Consider ideal diode to be connected in series with resistor of 6kSilicon diode forward bias voltage = 0.7 voltsCurrent across 6k resistor = (5-0.7)/6000 amperesVoltage across {resistor + diode}=4.3 + 0.7=5vIf silicon internal resistance is 6k then voltage across diode=5vIf external resistance is 6k and diode resistance is negligible then voltage across diode=0.7v
