    This lab document describes how to solve for the values of two resistors, R1 and R2, in a resistor divider circuit with a light bulb. When the bulb is connected, the node voltage is desired to be 1.5V, and when disconnected, the node voltage is desired to be 2.0V. Solving the equations derived from these conditions yields resistor values of R1 = 3Ω and R2 = 1.5Ω, which can be confirmed with a DC analysis.

    Lab 1: Resistor Divider

    Solutions

    1. With bulb connected, want node voltage A Vs=1.5V with two resistors R1 and R2, and
    Rbulb.
    2. With bulb disconnected, want node voltage A Vs=2.0V with two resistors R1 and R2
    only.

    From 2, we find R1=2R2.


    From 1, we have 6*(R1/(r1+(3R2/R2+3)))=4.5.

    Solving these two equations yield R1=3Ω and R2=1.5Ω.


    Note: Also run the DC analysis to confirm your answers.
