8.8.3. Voltage and Current Divider¶

This circuit is a fundamental block in electronic that permits to scale a voltage by an impedance ratio:

The relation between the input and ouput voltage is:

$\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}} = \frac{R_2}{R_1 + R_2}$

This equation holds for any impedances like resistance, capacitance, inductance, etc.

Node 2:  3.33 V
Node 1: 10.00 V

Similarly we can build a circuit that scale a current by an impedance ratio:

The relation between the input and ouput current is:

$\frac{I_{out}}{I_{in}} = \frac{R_1}{R_1 + R_2}$

Note the role of R1 and R2 is exchanged.

This equation holds for any impedances like resistance, capacitance, inductance, etc.
