Hi everybody
Im going too place a voltage divider between Ground and a point of 15V (dc) with 2 resisrors. The current in the resistors is exactly 0. Does anybody know that it would work in practice or not?! thanks
 

There will always be current in a resistor if there is a voltage across it. Very large values of resistors produce lower current, but the "load" on the divider by the following circuitry will affect the division ratio.
 

Current will always be there. Until your resistor is open or have infinite impedance.
 

V = I R

if I = 0 then V =0
so its not possible to have a zero current flowing through the resistance if its has voltage across it
 

:D v=ir !!! I know that, but I simulated a pattern in Pspice and all current values in the circuit were zero! (Voltages were not zero in some nodes!)
I found a mistake in my design finally. thanks :)
