Step 1
A voltage divider can be used to scale down an extremely high voltage so that a voltmeter can read it. The divider output, which outputs a lower voltage that is within the meter's input range, is detected by the meter after the high voltage is placed across it. The voltage across any resistor in a series connection of resistors must be equal to the resistor's value divided by the circuit's equivalent resistance. This is referred to as the Voltage Division Rule.
