NMC--Voltage Divider

01:19:01

When using resistors as a voltage divider, the circuit works best with a high-impedance (high-resistance) load.  This voltage divider provides a 6-volt output with no load connected.

Connect the 1 M-ohm load resistor.  What is the output voltage?

Connect the 330 ohm load resistor.  What happens to the output voltage and why?

Now connect the 6-volt motor.  The motor doesn't run...why is this?
