Electricity lesson 12
OUTCOME
By the end of the lesson you will be able to describe the function and use circuit analysis to solve a voltage divider circuit
Engage
Voltage dividers use the fact that components share voltage in series to divide the voltage
Transducers can be used in Voltage Divider circuits to design a circuit which responds to physical environmental parameters
