A Voltage Divider is a linear circuit that is utilized to divide a given supply voltage across multiple component paths in series. This calculator is made to calculate the Output Voltage across two given Resistors.
The output voltage can be calculated using the following formula:
\[V_{out} = V_{in} \cdot \frac{R_2}{R_1 + R_2}\]Let's assume we have a voltage divider circuit with a source voltage (\(V_s\)) of 12V, resistor \(R_1\) of 10kΩ, and resistor \(R_2\) of 5kΩ. Using the voltage divider formula, we can calculate the output voltage (\(V_{out}\)) as follows:
\[V_{out} = V_{s} \times \frac{R_{2}}{R_{1} + R_{2}}\]Substituting the values, we get:
\[V_{out} = 12V \times \frac{5000\Omega}{10000\Omega + 5000\Omega} = 4V\]Therefore, the output voltage (\(V_{out}\)) is 4V.
