3b. KVL, potential dividers Flashcards
1
Q
State Kirchoff’s Voltage Law, KVL.
A
KVL: sum of the voltages around any loop is zero.
2
Q
What is a potential divider and its equation?
A
Potential divider: where two resistors are in series, resulting in a voltage output on each resistor that can be connected to another ciruit or component
Equation: Vout = Vin (R1/ R1 + R2)
