Voltage Dividers in Modern Electronics: What They Are and How to Calculate Them

In some ways, the very term “voltage divider” explains itself. It refers to a simple, passive circuit in which multiple resistors are used in order to divide a

voltage divider

But would it surprise you that you can make an analog device like a slide rule using a Wheatstone ... to build it unless you just want to. A voltage divider is one of the easiest circuits in ...

Current, potential difference, power and resistance

First find the total resistance of the voltage divider. If the thermistor is moved to a freezer its resistance rises to \(40k\Omega\). The resistance of the resistor remains the same. We can ...

Practical electrical and electronic circuits

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. The two resistors may have fixed values or one may be an LDR, a thermistor or other input device. The supply voltage ...
