One laboratory. No installation.

Calculate.
Experiment.
Understand.

Electronics makes more sense when you can experiment. Change a value, follow the circuit and discover why.

Open to curiosity. No account or installation needed.

Experiment 003 / Voltage divider ● In your browser
01 / Adjust the inputs

Sliders with a wide range use a logarithmic scale. When zero is allowed, it has its own position. Type a number to set an exact value.

Supply: 5 V
R1 = R2 = 1 kΩ

Change. Observe. Understand. Vout ↓
+ − 5 V R1 · 1 kΩ R2 · 1 kΩ 2.5 V 0 V · common
No load 2.5 V
Model output 2.5 V

Connect the load to check whether the output remains half the supply voltage.

↑ This already works. Connect the load and watch the output.
