SERIES CIRCUITS Figure 5.1 shows three resistors R1, R2 and R3 connected end to end, i.e. in series, with a battery source of V volts. Since the circuit is closed a current, I will flow and the p.d. across each resistor may be determined from the voltmeter readings V1, V2 and V3
POTENTIAL DIVIDER The voltage distribution for the circuit shown in Figure 5.5(a) is given by:
The circuit shown in Figure 5.5(b) is often referred to as a potential divider circuit. Such a circuit can consist of a number of similar elements in series connected across a voltage source, voltages being taken from connections between the elements. Frequently the divider consists of two resistors as shown in Figure 5.5(b), where A potential divider is the simplest way of producing a source of lower e.m.f. from a source of higher e.m.f., and is the basic operating mechanism of the potentiometer, a measuring device for accurately measuring potential Differences.
