Capacitive Voltage Divider. One of the capacitors is connected from the input to the output and the second one is connected from the output to ground. The capacitive voltage divider circuits are used in large electronics applications mainly used in capacitive sensitive screens those change their output voltage when it is touched by a person finger.
Capacitive voltage dividers consist of two capacitors. Capacitive voltage divider. As the name suggests capacitive voltage divider circuits produce voltage drops across capacitors connected in series to a common ac supply.
It is also preferred extensively as cheap alternate for mains transformer where capacitive voltage divider are employed to drop high mains current.
There is a wide range of electronic use of capacitive voltage divider from finger scanning device to colpitts oscillators. Voltage is divided in a resistor network according to ohm s law. Capacitive voltage divider. A capacitive voltage divider is a voltage divider circuit using capacitors as the voltage dividing components.
