1. What is the current that will flow through a 10k potentiometer being used as a voltage divider with a 5V input?

2. For the below Vout values, calculate appropriate R1 and R2 values for a 10k? potentiometer and 5V Vin

Vout = 3.3V Common logic voltage level for many microcontrollers and sensors.

Vout = 1.5V Common output voltage for alkaline battery cells (AA, AAA, C etc. batteries).

Vout = 2.5V Cut the voltage provided in half- a very common use.

3. Using the values for your 2.5V output, determine the Vout and total current provided by the source given the below loads if a load is placed on Vout like in the below figure:

Vin M R1 o Vout R2 Rload
