Electric Circuits (continued)

How do you get exactly 3 volts out of a 9 volt battery for one part of a circuit? The answer is a potential divider, a pair of resistors that share out the voltage in proportion to their resistance. It is one of the neatest and most useful ideas in electronics.

In this lesson you will see why the voltage across a conductor grows with its resistance at constant current, learn how a variable potential divider works, and use the potential-divider equation to calculate the share of the voltage across each resistor. These ideas power the sensing circuits behind thermostats and light-controlled switches.

Ebumnobi

  1. Know that the p.d. across an electrical conductor increases as its resistance increases for a constant current
  2. [Supplement] Describe the action of a variable potential divider
  3. [Supplement] Recall and use the equation for two resistors used as a potential divider R V 1 = 1 R V 2 2

Real circuits rarely need the full battery voltage everywhere. Potential dividers let you tap off just the voltage a component needs, and combined with a thermistor or a light-dependent resistor they become the heart of temperature and light sensors. Mastering the share-out rule here is a direct route to circuit marks.
