The two resistor voltage divider is used often to supply a voltage different from that of an available battery or power supply. In application the output voltage depends upon the resistance of the load it drives.

What is the purpose of a variable?

A variable resistor is used in cicuits to vary the current passing through the resistor. It is commonly used to change the value of current across a circuit, or to act as a voltage divider. They are commonly equiped with a knob outside of a cabinet, to enable the user to adjust the operation of a circuit, like a volume control on a radio or amplifier.


What are three important characteristics of electric circuit?

Voltage, frequency, current, impedance, and what the circuit is supposed to do are all important.


What is an 7805 regulator?

7805is a voltage regulator integrated circuit. It is a member of 78xx series of fixed linear voltage regulator ICs. The voltage source in a circuit may have fluctuations and would not give the fixed voltage output. The voltage regulator IC maintains the output voltage at a constant value. The xx in 78xx indicates the fixed output voltage it is designed to provide. 7805 provides +5V regulated power supply. Capacitors of suitable values can be connected at input and output pins depending upon the respective voltage levels.Pin Diagram:Pin Description:Pin NoFunctionName1Input voltage (5V-18V)Input2Ground (0V)Ground3Regulated output; 5V (4.8V-5.2V)Output

What purpose might the multimeter serve in maintaining and troobleshooting a computer network?

With the multimeter you can measure the voltage on parts of the circuit board. You can also measure the resistance of resistors and make sure there are no short circuits in the circuit.

What is a voltage divider circuit?

The voltage divider circuit is a network of two or more components in series, often resistors, between a potential difference. The voltage between the components will be somewhere between the potential difference across the whole network and so divides the total voltage into one or more intermediate voltages.


What is the voltage divider theorem?

it is aa linear circuit that produces the output voltage from the fraction of its input. It is also known as potential divider.


What is the difference between a voltage divider circuit and voltage regulator I was told if the circuit consumes low current then the voltage divider can be used what does that mean?

A: that is true for less current a divider is OK it has to do with the series resistance and loading if the loading is forever fixed and the source is also fixed at a value then a divider can be used no matter what the current is.


What kind of circuit lowers voltage?

you can use a voltage divider or a step-down transformer to lower voltage.


How does a voltage divider work to distribute voltage across multiple resistors in a circuit?

A voltage divider is a circuit that uses two or more resistors to divide the input voltage into smaller voltages across each resistor. The voltage across each resistor is proportional to its resistance compared to the total resistance in the circuit. This allows for distributing the input voltage across multiple resistors in a controlled manner.


How does a voltage divider work to distribute voltage across multiple components in a circuit?

A voltage divider is a circuit that uses resistors to divide the input voltage into smaller voltages across multiple components. This is achieved by connecting the resistors in series, creating a voltage drop across each resistor based on their resistance values. The output voltage across each component is determined by the ratio of its resistance to the total resistance in the circuit.

What is the definition of stiff voltage divider?

Well, honey, a stiff voltage divider is basically a circuit that divides a voltage into two parts with minimal variation, even when there are changes in the load. It's like the Regina George of voltage dividers - it stays stable and doesn't let anything shake it up. So, if you want a reliable way to divide your voltage without any drama, a stiff voltage divider is the way to go.
