Basic resistor question

Mon Mar 24, 2014 2:52 pm

Say I have the following simple circuit, with a new 9 volt battery and a 1k ohm resistor.

How can i figure out what the voltage is with the resistor?

Hi,

Since the resistor is connected directly to the battery, a voltage drop on the resistor equals to the battery voltage.

P.S. Feel free to come back next time with a question where RasPi is also involved. (You might ask first before taking experiments.)


Best wishes, Ivan Zilic.
Running out of GPIO pins and/or need to read analog values?
