Voltage Divider Rule. R 2 is the resistance of the 2nd resistor measured in ohms ω. It s output voltage is a fixed fraction of its input voltage.
The divide down ratio is determined by two resistors. V o u t r b r a r b v i n. Here the output voltage is a fraction of the i p voltage.
Applying the voltage division rule can also solve simple circuits thoroughly.
Current division rule a parallel circuit acts as a current divider as the current divides in all the branches in a parallel circuit and the voltage remains the same across them. V s is the source voltage measured in volts v r 1 is the resistance of the 1st resistor measured in ohms ω. The current division is explained with the help of the circuit shown below. Passive linear circuit that produces output voltage that is a fraction of its input voltage.
