- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the primary function of a voltage divider network?
**A**: A voltage divider network produces a precise output voltage that is a specific fraction of the input voltage, commonly used for signal conditioning, voltage scaling, and reference voltage creation in electronic circuits.

### Q: What materials are typically used in industrial voltage divider networks?
**A**: Industrial voltage dividers typically use carbon film or metal film resistors for stability, printed circuit boards (PCBs) for mounting, and copper conductors for reliable electrical connections and minimal resistance.

### Q: How do I select resistors for a voltage divider network?
**A**: Select resistors based on required voltage ratio (R1 and R2 values), power rating (to handle current without overheating), tolerance (for precision), and temperature coefficient (for stability across operating conditions).
