Different Voltage Divider Schematics

A voltage divider includes a voltage source across a series of two resistors. You may see the different voltage circuits drawn in different ways that are shown below. But these different circuits should always be the same.


In the above different voltage divider circuits, the R1 resistor is closest to the input voltage Vin, and the resistor R2 is closest to the ground terminal. The voltage drop across resistor R2 is called Vout which is the divided voltage of the circuit.
