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 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.


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 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.
