Question

Hi, I'm stuck with this problem. Can you help me to solve it? In order for me to understand the theory behind it, could you also tell me where I can find this topic?

Here is the problem:

Two resistors RAB and RAC, connected in series, form a potential divider with input
terminals A and C and output terminals B and c.
(a) Sketch the circuit
(b) If RAB is 10 kohm and RBC is 1500 ohm, determine the ratio of VBC / VAC when the input
resistance of a meter connected between B and C is
(i)infinite
and (ii)1000 ohm
(c) If the maximum permitted power dissipation in RAB is 15W and in RBC 1W, determine the
maximum voltage VAC across which the divider/1000 ohm meter combination may be connected.
