Voltage divider

A voltage divider is a simple electrical circuit that produces an output voltage that is a fraction of its input voltage. It is typically used to generate a lower voltage from a higher voltage source and is often employed in applications such as signal conditioning, sensor measurements, and adjusting levels in electronic circuits. ### Basic Concept A voltage divider typically consists of two resistors, \(R_1\) and \(R_2\), connected in series across a voltage source (\(V_{in}\)).
