The purpose of a voltage divider in an electronic circuit is to divide a given voltage into smaller values. It consists of two resistors connected in series, and the output voltage is taken from the junction between these two resistors. The ratio of the resistances determines the division of the input voltage. Voltage dividers are commonly used to provide a specific voltage level within a circuit, such as to create a reference voltage or to bias electronic components. They are also employed in various applications like level shifting, signal conditioning, and sensor interfacing.

The purpose of a voltage divider in an electronic circuit is to reduce the voltage level of a signal. It is a simple circuit that consists of two resistors connected in series, and the output voltage is taken from the node between the two resistors. The ratio of the resistances determines the output voltage, with the voltage across the first resistor being proportional to its resistance and the total resistance of the voltage divider circuit. Voltage dividers are commonly used in electronic circuits to provide a specific voltage level required for various components or to attenuate the voltage level of a signal to a desired level.
