Suppose we construct a voltage divider circuit as shown in Figure 1.1 where the voltage source V₁ is a 9Volt battery. Furthermore, we will implement resistor R₁ using two terminals of a 10k pot so that R₁ is variable over the range 0 ≤ R₁ ≤ 10kſ. Find the largest value of the resistor R₂ that will allow the output voltage to vary over a range that includes at least 1.5V ≤ V₂ ≤ 5. OV. Show how you arrived at this value. Then, choose a resistor (or combination of resistors) from your parts kit that will get you as close as possible to (but no larger than) your calculated value for R₂.

Suppose we construct a voltage divider circuit as shown in Figure 1.1 where the voltage source
V₁ is a 9Volt battery. Furthermore, we will implement resistor R₁ using two terminals of a 10k
pot so that R₁ is variable over the range 0 ≤ R₁ ≤ 10k№. Find the largest value of the
resistor R₂ that will allow the output voltage to vary over a range that includes at least
1.5V ≤ V₂ ≤ 5.0V. Show how you arrived at this value. Then, choose a resistor (or
combination of resistors) from your parts kit that will get you as close as possible to (but
no larger than) your calculated value for R₂.
