Voltage dividers

Please feel free to suggest new paragraphs as this is a work in progress.​

A voltage divider (also known as a potential divider) consists of two resistances connected in series across a supply voltage. The supply voltage is split between the two resistances to give a lower, but propotional output voltage. Voltage dividers are used in a variety of circuits and have many different uses. For example voltage dividers can create reference voltages other than the supply...
