1. The document describes an experiment to study and implement a voltage divider circuit. A voltage divider circuit uses two resistors connected in series to create an output voltage that is a fraction of the input voltage. 2. The experiment uses resistors of 1kΩ, 2kΩ, and 3kΩ in a series circuit with a 10V input to create voltage drops across each resistor. Measurements are taken of the total resistance, currents, and voltages and compared to calculated values. 3. The results found the calculated and measured values matched with 0% error, validating the voltage divider circuit worked as expected to divide the input voltage between the resistors based on their resistances.

Title:
To Study and Implement Voltage Divider Circuit
Objective:

2. To notice the application of the voltage divide circuit.

Theory:
A voltage divider is a simple circuit which turns a large voltage into a smaller one. Using just two series
resistors and an input voltage, we can create an output voltage that is a fraction of the input. Voltage
dividers are one of the most fundamental circuits in electronics. The Mathematical Equation is
