Voltage Divider
Voltage Divider: What is meant by a voltage divider? Definition: A resistor or series of resistors provided with taps at certain points and used to provide various potential differences from a single power source. Circuit Diagram: Description: As simple as useful. the voltage divider can be used to: -set a precise voltage reference; -make an R to V converter; -decrease the amplitude of a voltage signal. Current: Output Voltage: The output voltage is equal to the voltage drop across R2, which can be found by multiplying the current given by the previous formula with R2. Importance of a voltage divider: A voltage divider is one of the basic circuits used in electrical engineering. This is an important concept especially when more complex circuits are to be created. It allows engineers to analyze resistance and to optimize electronic devices. Thi...
