Basic Knowledge On How A Voltage Divider Works

By Melissa Williams


Working with music or a recorder may impose a lot of concerns specifically on its volumes. For example, when doing a voice over, your recorded audio may be overpowered by a background music. To settle the needs for this adjustment, you should have a device that is deemed as a variable resistor. This device may also be applicable if you would like to take measurements for deflections on performing centers or when you wish to reduce the noise you are experiencing in your motorbike.

This type of circuitry is of great aid when wanting to divide volumes of voltages sent. To simplify, the specific device that you should have is called a voltage divider. This happens to be one of the most fundamental circuits you will be dealing with in the field of electronics.

The Ohms law is used to understand the result of this device. It states that current flowing in a conductor is proportional to the difference between its ends. Meaning, if the current is reduced, then the Volt is also reduced.

A circuit where the Volt runs through is one of the essential parts of this tool. The other is called an equation where you should find the Vout by taking the ratio between two resistors. These two parts are vital in reducing your volt counts and in the absence of either one of its variables, the procedure will never take effect.

Knowing these essentials, you may realize that you can also create your own portable divider. For this, you have to prepare the leads, resistors, alligator clamps, snap on connectors, a voltmeter and a standard 9V battery. This is the highest possible amount of V a simple electronic can handle. Some would limit it to a 5V only.

Connect leads to its proper colors. Using an alligator clamp, find the red lead of your battery and attach the clamp. Following the same pattern, do the process toward the black lead of your energy source.

Make sure that you have provided a solid twist for it by clamping an alligator clamp on it. Then look at the positive and negative terminals of the battery. When found, attach the red wire to the positive and the black wire to the negative. Then turn your meter on.

The new positive terminal. After having a new set up for your circuit, the positive terminal will now be the connector which is attached to the twisted part of the resistors. However, the negative terminal remains the same. Using the Ohms law, you will understand how a 10 ohm resistor and a 20 ohm resistor with a 9V energy source will now have a new output charge of 3V.

Before going through this procedure, unhook the end of the divider. In some case, you have to unplug your battery to avoid draining. For this procedure, your 9V energy source does not really show a lot of danger. But, when working with some other electronics, make sure to unplug the wires from wall outlets as this may cause electrocution.
