A voltage divider helps us to reduce (step down) a voltage to a lower level.
It’s a type of electronic circuit that looks like this.

We can use an easy formula or calculator to find the values of resistors that we should use in the voltage divider.
Try that now. If the maximum voltage from the wind turbine is 5 volts. Use the calculator to find which resistor values we will need to use in the voltage divider. One of the resistors values must be 330 Ohms.
