V should be 1.25V(voltage divider on both 100 ohm resistors) and Vx = 1.125V (voltage divider between the 90 and 20//20 ohm resistors)
A voltage/current divider is a circuit that divides an input voltage or current into smaller parts and outputs them. It is used to control the voltage or current levels in a circuit and is typically made up of resistors.
A voltage/current divider works by using Ohm's Law, which states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. By placing resistors in series or parallel, the voltage or current can be divided and controlled accordingly.
The equation for a voltage/current divider is Vout = (R2/(R1+R2)) x Vin, where Vout is the output voltage, R1 and R2 are the resistances of the two resistors, and Vin is the input voltage. This equation applies to a series voltage divider, while a parallel current divider follows the equation Iout = (R1/(R1+R2)) x Iin, where Iout is the output current and Iin is the input current.
A voltage/current divider has many applications in electronics and electrical engineering. It is commonly used in voltage regulators, power supplies, and sensor circuits to control voltage or current levels. It is also used in audio circuits, where it is used to adjust signal levels and in electronic filters to attenuate or amplify signals.
There are several advantages of using a voltage/current divider in circuits. It allows for precise control of voltage or current levels, making it useful in various applications. It is also relatively simple and inexpensive to implement, requiring only a few resistors. Additionally, it can be easily adjusted or modified to suit different circuit requirements.
