Intro to Circuits 22: Voltage Divider

This video shows the derivation of the voltage divider equation for a voltage divider with two resistors. Full introduction to circuits playlist:    • Introduction to Circuits  

This video is part of introduction to circuits series, for people who AREN'T electrical engineers. I am a mechanical engineer by training and have taught a mechatronics class at Cornell University. This series is at the level of an introductory college electronics class, or for an advanced high school student or hobbyist. It starts out simple (resistors, Ohm's Law, series and parallel circuits, etc. - things you've problem seen if you've already taken an E&M physics course) and then moves on to other circuit components like diodes, transistors, and operational amplifiers, which you probably wouldn't see in an intro physics course.
