Not always. (;-)

I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere... :-)

I meant that for 6V in and 5V into Rl, R2 = 5R1.

OK, let's go on in the same vein. R2 is not always 5R1; it might be 5R6
or even 47K. (;-)

GROANNNN...

OK, it arteried: "In order to assure a voltage of 5VDC across Rl the
resistance of R2 should be five times the resistance of R1." ?^)


Ah! So, you mean R2 = 5*R1 or 5.R1 in K.A. notation.
