Understanding Voltage Divider Circuits with a Voltmeter Reading

This explanation details a voltage divider circuit with given resistances and voltage. The circuit has resistances of 1000Ω and 9000Ω, and a voltage reading of 48.0V. Using Ohm's Law (V = IR), we calculate the current (I) and the voltage across one of the resistors. By applying the formula I = V/R, we find the current to be 0.00480A. Using the current value, we then derive the voltage across the 1000Ω resistor, resulting in a voltage of 4.80V. This process illustrates the working principle of voltage dividers.

  1. What does the voltmeter read? V 9000  1000  48.0 V V = IR I = V/R = (48.0 V)/(1000  + 9000 ) = .00480 A V = IR = (.00480 A)(1000 ) = 4.80 V This is a voltage divider circuit.
