Voltage Divider

Processing math: 100%

Use the sliders to set the voltage between 0 and 10 Volts, and to change the value of the resistors. The current is depicted by the blue arrow.

V1=10 V

V1=0 V

The input voltage is V1= Volts.
R1= Ohms. 0 Ohms 10 Ohms
R2= Ohms. 0 Ohms 10 Ohms
The current is $I=\frac{V1}{R_{total}}=\frac{V1}{R1+R2}=$
The voltage divider ratio = $\frac {R2}{R1 + R2} =$
Finally the output voltage $V2 = I \cdot R2 = V1 \frac {R2}{R_{total}} = V1 \frac {R2}{R1 + R2}$ = V1· = Volts.
