HI GUYS SO I WAS JUST WANDERING IF YOU COULD ANSWER MY PHYSICS QUESTION.IF THERE ARE TWO RESISTORS IN A CIRCUIT IN SERIES ,ONE WITH A HIGHER RESISTANCE THAN THE OTHER,DOES MORE VOLTAGE GO TO THE ONE WITH A HIGHER RESISTANCE OR LOWER RESISTANCE?  ???AND IF THEY WERE IN SERIES WHAT HAPPENS TOO?  :-\PLEASE I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS THANKS IN ADVANCE ;D ;) :D

Higher voltage across higher resistance.

You mean what happens in case they are in parallel?

In a series circuit, current is the same throughout.

V=IR  I is constant, when R is greater, V is greater

parallel circuit voltage is constant

V=IR    higher resistance, lower voltage and vice-versa
