Voltage divider article

What is the primary function of a voltage divider in electronic circuits?

• To produce an output voltage that is a fraction of the input voltage

• To increase the input voltage

• To store electrical energy

• To convert AC to DC

Which components can be used to construct a voltage divider?

• Resistors, capacitors, and inductors

• Transistors and diodes

• Batteries and switches

• Transformers and relays

What is a critical consideration when using voltage dividers?

• The loading effect

• The color coding of resistors

• The type of solder used

• The length of connecting wires

Why are voltage dividers not suitable for supplying power to loads?

• They are inefficient and can overheat

• They are too expensive

• They require AC power

• They are too large

In which application are voltage dividers particularly useful?

• Setting reference voltages for ADCs

• Powering high-current devices

• Generating high-frequency signals

• Storing large amounts of energy
