How to use

  1. Enter input voltage.
  2. Enter R1 (top) and R2 (bottom) in ohms.
  3. Read Vout and current; the diagram updates live.

FAQ

What is the divider formula?

Vout = Vin × R2 / (R1 + R2).

Does load affect output?

Yes, a load in parallel with R2 lowers Vout.

Can I power devices from a divider?

Generally no; use a regulator for loads.
