Lesson: Using Potential Dividers Physics

In this lesson, we will learn how to find the output voltage of a potential divider and describe how potential dividers can be used in sensing circuits.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

use the formula in all permutations,
understand diagrams of potential dividers,
understand how to use a thermistor to turn a potential divider into a temperature sensor,
understand how to use an LDR to turn a potential divider into a light sensor.
