Regulate Volumes Of Your Devices Easier With A Portable Voltage Divider

By Melissa Williams


Working with music or a recorder may impose a lot of concerns specifically on its volumes. For example, when doing a voice over, your recorded audio may be overpowered by a background music. To settle the needs for this adjustment, you should have a device that is deemed as a variable resistor. This device may also be applicable if you would like to take measurements for deflections on performing centers or when you wish to reduce the noise you are experiencing in your motorbike.

With an understanding of how circuitry and an equation works, you can make use of a device that could help regulate the voltage amount of the audio equipment or other electronics. A voltage divider is a passive type of line that produces an output value. This value is the lowered amount of initial voltage.

Using two resistors, this divider shall allow you to turn a large voltage into a smaller one provided that you also have the value of input voltage. Understand how this device works need you to be familiar with the Ohms law which states, the direct current flowing in a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference between its ends.

A circuit where the Volt runs through is one of the essential parts of this tool. The other is called an equation where you should find the Vout by taking the ratio between two resistors. These two parts are vital in reducing your volt counts and in the absence of either one of its variables, the procedure will never take effect.

Knowing these essentials, you may realize that you can also create your own portable divider. For this, you have to prepare the leads, resistors, alligator clamps, snap on connectors, a voltmeter and a standard 9V battery. This is the highest possible amount of V a simple electronic can handle. Some would limit it to a 5V only.

Start by connecting one lead to a red lead of a 9V battery with an alligator clamp. Then using another lead, do the same steps but this time using the black lead of the connector. After, you can twist the free end of each resistor together.

Putting together the two leads. Twist together both lead ends and lock it up using the last alligator clamp. After doing so, take the connector of your voltmeters then do the correct terminal placing. Red wires go to the positive terminal of your battery while the black wires refer to the negative one. Then you can start turning your meter on.

The new positive terminal. After having a new set up for your circuit, the positive terminal will now be the connector which is attached to the twisted part of the resistors. However, the negative terminal remains the same. Using the Ohms law, you will understand how a 10 ohm resistor and a 20 ohm resistor with a 9V energy source will now have a new output charge of 3V.

When doing this procedure, always see to it that you have unhooked an end of a divider or unplugged your battery to prevent it from draining. More so, be cautious when working with these types of wiring especially the ones which are still plugged into its outlet because it may result in electrocution. In this case, however, there is not much danger in a 9V energy source.
