Voltage Divider
Voltage Divider is also called
Potential Divider. Voltage Divider is a circuit that
produces an output voltage which is a small part of its
input voltage. This Circuit is used for dividing the
voltage among components. e.g Potentiometer
Voltage Dividers are used to produce
reference voltages. The voltage output of a voltage
divider is unfixed and varies according to the load
The two resistor
voltage divider is used often to supply a
voltage different from that of an available battery
or power supply.
The Java calculator below can be used to solve the
unknowns associated with the
voltage divider at the right. The output at "Vout"
represents the
voltage
