Duke AERO Circuit #3

This is a voltage divider circuit used for stepping down voltages. Notice that the power supply outputs 1V. However, because of the R_1 and R_2, some of the voltage is "burned" off and a lower voltage is available to be used. 

Look at the top left corner. The green line represents voltage coming from the power supply while the blue line represents the voltage that has been divided. 

Click a resistor, then the wrench in the lower corner. You can change the resistance. Watch as you change the value of the resistance of the resistor the divided voltage increases or decreases.
