A load that is 1Mohm would mean 100 ohm and 900 ohm to avoid too much of a loading error (the 1M is in parallel with the 900 ohms) | |
| Jul 27, 2014 at 14:34 | comment | added | MichaelK | Just to clarify, if the load I'm providing the voltage to is.. say 1Kohm, the optimal values of resistors would be 0.1% of that and therefore 100 ohm and 900 ohm? Or am I misunderstanding? | |
