Teacher gave us this circuit to analyze and we're supposed to use the voltage divider formulation:
\[ V_{R1} = \frac{E\cdot R1}{R1+R2+R3} \]
It gives me:
\[ V_{R1} = 4.55\]
\[ V_{R1} = 6.69\]
\[ V_{R1} = 3.75\]
The problem is, either I don't know how to interpret these numbers, or I'm not using the right logic. I need the Vout for the Pot to be the same as the calculations, but the simulator gives me 3.75 at low and 10.4 at high. I'm really confused, if anyone could explain how I'm supposed to read this data I'd be really thankful!
