A potential divider is a passive circuit that produces an output voltage that is a fraction of the input voltage. It consists of two or more resistors connected in series, with the input voltage applied across the whole circuit and the output voltage measured between two of the resistors. Potential dividers can be used as volume, brightness or temperature controls, or to make light and temperature sensors, and have applications in signal adjustment, biasing amplifiers, and voltage measurement.

4.  A potential divider is a passive linear circuit that produces
an output voltage that is a fraction of its input voltage.
 A simple example of a voltage divider is two resistors
connected in series.
 With the input voltage applied across the resistor pair
and the output voltage emerging from the connection
between them.
