How Do You Make A Voltage Divider Circuit?
• Connect one lead of the 20-ohm resistor to the exposed part of the red lead of the 9V battery snap-on connector using an alligator clamp. • Repeat Step 1 to connect the black lead of the snap-on connector to one lead of the 10-ohm resistor. • Twist together the free end of each resistor. This will be the easiest way to make sure that there is a solid connection between the resistors. • Clamp the last alligator clamp over the twisted leads of the resistors to ensure they stay in place. • Connect the snap-on connector to the 9V battery so that the red wire is connected to the positive (+) terminal and the black wire is connected to the negative (-) terminal. • Hold the negative (black) lead of the voltmeter against the alligator clamp touching the negative (black) lead of the snap-on connector. • Hold the positive (red) lead of the voltmeter against the alligator clamp holding the twisted resistor leads in place. • Turn on the voltmeter. The screen should read 3V. Use the connection wh
