In The Art of Electronics 3rd, it mention:

Resistors are used in power circuits to reduce voltages by dissipating power, to measure currents, and to discharge capacitors after power is removed.

I'm not sure what power circuits are, but I found a link (https://c03.apogee.net/mvc/home/hes/land/el?utilityname=imea&spc=foe&id=4703#:~:text=A%20power%20circuit%20is%20defined,since%20they%20serve%20different%20purposes) that mentions:

Most lighting and receptacle outlet circuits in a house are power circuits since they only provide power to devices when the devices operate

This suggests that the typical 110V and 220V circuits used in homes, as well as the 380V used in industry, are all power circuits. However, if you were to connect a resistor in series with these 110V, 220V, or 380V circuits to step down the voltage, it would likely burn out the resistor. I’ve never seen this method of voltage reduction before.
