What are advantages of voltage divider bias over the other types of biasing ci?

You can use more than one type of voltage divider in it. It can sometimes get mixed signals with all the things going on.


What are the application of voltage divider biasing?

To get reasonable gain without losing stability of circuit. ANSWER: Is to reduce the input to a lesser value or to match signals impedance


What should the current be through a bleeder resister in a voltage divider circuit?

The current should be high enough to maintain the voltage at each division. Generally, the current should be ten times the load current or the voltage will be across the voltage divider. If possible use regulators or zeners or regular diodes. I'm not saying dividers are bad but there are less current sensitive solutions.


Why voltage divider biasing circuit is the widely used biasing?

In a voltage -divider circuit method for biasing a transistor , we have two resistors R1 and R2 a DC supply voltage VCC and other components like collector resistor , emitter resistor are also present.here biasing is done by the help of voltage drop across the resistorsto understand the reason behind the extensive usage of voltage - divider method we need to know about the term stability.Stability factor of a transistor is defined as the ratio of amount of change in collector current to the amount of change in the same collector current with the base open(leakage current due to minority charge carriers)lesser the stability factor ------ that type of biasing is more desiredthe stability factor for voltage divider method is nearly equal to one.

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 definition of stiff voltage divider?

A voltage divider in which the base current is small compared to the current in R2 (resistor in other path to ground) is said to be a stiff voltage divider because the voltage is relatively independent of different transistors and temperature effects.


How do design a high voltage voltmeter?

Use a voltage divider and an standard high input impedance voltmeter connected to the low voltage output tap of the divider. Just check that: a) the voltage divider has enough resistance to minimize loading of the voltage source (The voltage divider resistance should be as high as possible). b) the voltmeter's input impedance is at least 10-20 times larger than the output resistance (impedance) of the divider. If necessary add a high-input impedance amplifier or a transducer between the divider output and the voltmeter. What is high voltage for you?

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 is voltage divider circuit?

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.
