This is Vout. We could also have calculated this directly from the voltage divider equation:

This is Vout. We could also have calculated this directly from the voltage divider equation: R2 6k V out = V ------------------- = 5V --------------------------- = 3V R1 + R2 6k + 4k It is also good to verify that KVL works. VR1 + VR2 = 2V + 3V = 5V. How Do I Solve More Complex Resistive Circuits? By using a voltage divider, we can generate virtually any voltage between 0V and 5V using two carefully chosen resistors. However, the problem for this chapter asks us to build a system that will produce a number of different voltages under program control. Before we can do that, we need to learn more about network theory. How Do I Solve More Complex Resistive Circuits?
