How to Use This Calculator
This voltage divider calculator helps you determine the output voltage (Vout) of a basic two-resistor voltage divider circuit.
Instructions:
- Enter your input voltage (Vin) in volts
- Enter the values for R1 and R2 in ohms (Ω)
- The calculator will automatically compute:
- Output voltage (Vout)
- Current through the circuit
- Power dissipated by each resistor
- Use the preset dropdowns to quickly select common resistor values
- Export your results as PDF or CSV if needed
Voltage Divider Formula:
Vout = Vin × (R2 / (R1 + R2))
