  1. potential divider

    A potential divider, also known as a voltage divider, is a simple electronic circuit that is designed to reduce the voltage of an electrical input to a lesser, desired voltage. It consists of two or more resistors connected in series, dividing the input voltage among them according to their respective resistances, thus producing a smaller output voltage. It is commonly used in creating reference voltages or in reducing the voltage of a power source to a level suitable for a subsequent circuit or component.
