Voltage divider
LINEAR CIRCUIT THAT PRODUCES AN OUTPUT VOLTAGE THAT IS A FRACTION OF ITS INPUT VOLTAGE
Potential divider; Voltage division; Voltage divider rule; Loading effect; Resistor divider
In electronics, a voltage divider (also known as a potential divider) is a passive linear circuit that produces an output voltage (Vout) that is a fraction of its input voltage (Vin). Voltage division is the result of distributing the input voltage among the components of the divider.
