Herein disclosed is a voltage dividing resistor comprising a resistance bar and a plurality of dividing connectors. The resistance bar has a first end and a second end and provides a first current path, which stretches from the first end to the second end along the resistance bar. The distance between the first end and the second end is less than the length of the first current path. The first and second ends are configured to be electrically connected to a power source. The dividing connectors are electrically connected to different locations on the first current path. Each of the dividing connectors has a contact pad. The resistance bar is not coplanar with the contact pads. A divided voltage is obtained from a pair of dividing connectors chosen from the plurality of dividing connectors.
