following objectives:
4.Developing skills for future lab work: By using the NI-ElVIS II,
students can develop the necessary skills for future laboratory
work, such as measurement techniques, circuit design, and
instrument operation. These skills can be valuable for students
pursuing careers in fields such as engineering and science.
Theory:
A. Definition of Output Voltage:
The voltage divider circuit is designed to generate an output
voltage that is either equal to or lower than the input voltage by
manipulating the input voltage through the circuit's components.
In this experiment, a voltage divider circuit is constructed using
two resistors connected in series and an input voltage from the
ELVIS tool. Both theoretical and experimental calculations are
used to determine the output voltage. The theoretical calculation
involves the use of the following equation:
V(OUT)=V(1)*R(2)/(R(1)*R(2))
Measure the voltage: The NI-ELVIS II measures the voltage between the
two points in the circuit.

Discussion :
It has been demonstrated through the use of the ELVIS tool and
the standard resistor color code table that there is no precise
resistance for a resistor, only approximate values. This is
evidenced by the results shown in Table 1. Errors in reading the
color bands can lead to inaccuracies in the results, highlighting
the potential for human error.
