Voltage Divider Explained | Animated Deep Dive

Why won't the voltage drop with just 1 resistor?

[@robertwaldmann4544]

A voltage divider needs two resistors to create a precise and stable output voltage. The output voltage is determined by the ratio of the two resistors, ensuring it remains consistent regardless of the load. Using just one resistor would result in unstable and inaccurate voltage due to load variations.

[@robertwaldmann4544]

Using just one resistor would be imprecise and unstable because the voltage would vary with the load, depending on how much current the load draws.

Excellent and brilliant way to demonstrate each and every single step of this topic, Highly recommended ,all the best and keep it up.

Thank you!

Thanks for tuning into our "Voltage Divider Explained" video. We'd love to know:
Are there parts you'd like us to explain in more depth in future videos

[@De_Firma]

Can you help me with some questions please?😢

Cool, so what if your load was the same as youre r2, how far off would the desired V be? like 3.1 or 4 vs 3? DEEEPER!!

[@V0ltverse]

Hi, in that case, the parallel resistance would be equal to 1 Ohm. Therefore, the Vout will be around 1.7 V, instead of the desired 3 V

[@123123mike]

@4:17 any chance of explaining how the equation was rearranged to R2 = Vout * R1/Vin - Vout ?

[@V0ltverse]

Sure!
Start with the voltage divider equation: Vout=Vin×R2/R1+R2​​.
Rearrange to isolate R2​: Multiply both sides by R1+R2 and then by 1/Vin​ to get Vout/Vin=R2/R1+R2
Solve for R2​: After some algebraic manipulation, you should arrive at R2=Vout×R1/Vin−Vout
