// Exa 1.21 clc; clear; // Given // A Volt box design Vs = 100; // Input voltage (V) V2 = 5; // Output voltage (V) Rs = 10*10^6; // Desired sum of resistance(R1+R2) Ohms // Solution // By voltage divider formula, we get // R2/(R1+R2) = V2/Vs ; // i.e, By simplifying R2 = Rs*V2/Vs; R1 = Rs - R2; printf(' The desired values of R1 and R2 to satisfy Volt box requirements are %.1f M ohms and %.2f M ohms respectively \n ',R1/10^6,R2/10^6); //The answer provided in the textbook is wrong
