Voltage Divider. Voltage division is the result of distributing the input voltage among the components of the divider. A voltage or potential divider is a simple passive circuit that takes advantage of the effect of voltages being dropped across components which are connected in series.
1 for direct current circuits with dc an inductor acts as a short circuit. A voltage divider circuit is a very common circuit that takes a higher voltage and converts it to a lower one by using a pair of resistors. Using just two series resistors and an input voltage we can create an output voltage that is a fraction of the input.
The formula for calculating the output voltage is based on ohms law and is shown below.
Resistor voltage dividers are commonly used to create reference v. Voltage dividers are also known as potential dividers because the unit of voltage the volt represents the amount of potential difference between two points. A voltage or potential divider is a simple passive circuit that takes advantage of the effect of voltages being dropped across components which are connected in series. In reality you will see the resistance.
