Voltage divider calculator

Enter your values. The answer and the full worked solution update as you type.

Result

Output voltage8.25 V

Current3.75 mA

Step-by-step solution

Divider rule

V_out = V_in·R₂/(R₁ + R₂) = 12·2200/3200 = 8.25 V

Current through the divider

I = 12/3200 = 3.75 mA

Key formulas

Resistors in series: R_eq = R₁ + R₂ + …
Ohm's law: V = I·R
