Voltage Divider API
Resistive voltage-divider circuit design as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The divide endpoint takes an input voltage and two resistors and returns the output voltage Vout = Vin·R2/(R1+R2), the current I = Vin/(R1+R2) that flows through the chain, and the power dissipated in each resistor and in total — a 12 V source with R1 = 1 kΩ and R2 = 2 kΩ gives 8 V at 4 mA. The loaded endpoint adds a load resistor across R2, computes the parallel combination R2′ = R2·RL/(R2+RL) and the loaded output Vout = Vin·R2′/(R1+R2′), and reports the droop in volts and percent against the unloaded value, the classic mistake when a divider feeds a real load. The resistor endpoint sizes the missing resistor for a target output — R2 = R1·Vout/(Vin−Vout) or R1 = R2·(Vin−Vout)/Vout — so you can pick parts for a reference or sensor-bias point. All quantities are volts, ohms, amps and watts. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for electronics, embedded, hardware, sensor-interfacing and EE-education app developers, reference-voltage and bias-network tools, and maker software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is the resistive divider; for a single Ohm’s-law relationship use an Ohm’s-law API and for RC/RL filters an RC-filter API.
