Connect a variable resistance across DC source (fixed ends of variable resistor or Rheostat) and take decreased DC output across its one fixed terminal and other variable terminal of variable resistor.

Other method is connect variable resistor in series with DC output and load, vary the resistance and take decreased DC voltage as required.

What do you do to change the voltage of a 12 volt battery to a 6 volt output?

To change the voltage of a 12-volt battery to a 6-volt output, you can use a voltage regulator or a step-down transformer. A voltage regulator will reduce the voltage to the desired 6 volts, while a step-down transformer will step down the voltage from 12 volts to 6 volts. Both options will help you achieve a stable 6-volt output.


What are transformers designed to operate with?

to step up voltage or to step down voltage


When is a step up transformer used in relationship as to when a step down transformer is used?

If the voltage needs to be increased from a lower voltage to a higher voltage a step up transformer is used. If the voltage needs to be lowered from a higher voltage to a lower voltage a step down transformer is used.


What is the difference between a step-up and step-down transformer?

A step-up transformer increases voltage, while a step-down transformer decreases voltage.


Device used to step voltage up or down?

As transformers do not work with DC., the answer is a voltage divider network (step down) or a voltage multiplier network (step up).


What is the difference between a step-up transformer and a step-down transformer in terms of their voltage conversion capabilities?

A step-up transformer increases voltage, while a step-down transformer decreases voltage.


What is step up and step down?

Usually refers to a transformer. A step up transformer increases the voltage and a step down decreases the voltage by an amount proportional to the ratio of the windings between Primary and Secondary. A 1:2 ratio is a step up and doubles the voltage. A 2:1 would be a step down and halve the voltage.


Summary of the step-down transformer?

A step- down transformer is one whose secondary voltage is less than its primary voltage, it is used to reduce 'step down' the voltage applied to it. The number of coils in the primary circuit is greater that the secondary circuit. For instance, to step down 480 Voltage to 240 voltage, you need a step down transformer whose ratio of primary coils to secondary coils is 2:1.


What the different between voltage generators and voltage transformers?

How is 11kv convert to 230v?

In a circuit where is the voltage drop?

In a circuit, the voltage drop is located wherever there is resistance. Ohm's law: voltage = resistance * current; so without resistance there can be no voltage drop, with resistance there is.
