How To Create Your Portable Voltage Divider

By Melissa Williams


Working with music or a recorder may impose a lot of concerns specifically on its volumes. For example, when doing a voice over, your recorded audio may be overpowered by a background music. To settle the needs for this adjustment, you should have a device that is deemed as a variable resistor. This device may also be applicable if you would like to take measurements for deflections on performing centers or when you wish to reduce the noise you are experiencing in your motorbike.

With an understanding of how circuitry and an equation works, you can make use of a device that could help regulate the voltage amount of the audio equipment or other electronics. A voltage divider is a passive type of line that produces an output value. This value is the lowered amount of initial voltage.

Using two resistors, this divider shall allow you to turn a large voltage into a smaller one provided that you also have the value of input voltage. Understand how this device works need you to be familiar with the Ohms law which states, the direct current flowing in a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference between its ends.

There are two essential parts of this divider, one is the circuit and the other is the equation. The circuit pertains to a source of the Volt which goes across two resistors. For the equation, you have to assume three values namely input voltage, resistor one R1, and resistor two R2. The output value could be found by taking the ratio between R1 and R2.

Knowing these essentials, you may realize that you can also create your own portable divider. For this, you have to prepare the leads, resistors, alligator clamps, snap on connectors, a voltmeter and a standard 9V battery. This is the highest possible amount of V a simple electronic can handle. Some would limit it to a 5V only.

Start by connecting one lead to a red lead of a 9V battery with an alligator clamp. Then using another lead, do the same steps but this time using the black lead of the connector. After, you can twist the free end of each resistor together.

Over the twisted leads, ensure a solid twist by clamping the last alligator clamp on it. Then using another connector, place the red wire on the positive terminal of the battery and place the black one in the negative terminal. Hold similar charges together of positives and negatives of your voltmeter lead and clamps and turn your meters on.

The new positive terminal. After having a new set up for your circuit, the positive terminal will now be the connector which is attached to the twisted part of the resistors. However, the negative terminal remains the same. Using the Ohms law, you will understand how a 10 ohm resistor and a 20 ohm resistor with a 9V energy source will now have a new output charge of 3V.

Creating your own portable device is just easy. However, you have to take safety measures for this. When dealing with a 9V battery, however, you may not see a lot of danger for it in terms of electrocution possibilities. But for other electronics, make sure that you have unplugged the wires before working on it.
