Calculate Output Voltage After Attenuation





Formula

The formula to calculate the Output Voltage (V_out) is:

\[ V_{out} = \left( \frac{R}{R_{total}} \right) \times V_{in} \]

What is Voltage Attenuation?

Voltage attenuation refers to the reduction in voltage across a component or section of a circuit. It is a common phenomenon in electrical circuits, especially when dealing with resistors. Understanding voltage attenuation is crucial for designing circuits that require precise voltage levels at different points.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Output Voltage (V_out):

\[ V_{out} = \left( \frac{R}{R_{total}} \right) \times V_{in} = \left( \frac{5}{10} \right) \times 12 = 0.5 \times 12 = 6 \text{ V} \]

The Output Voltage (V_out) is 6 V.
