Resistors normally come in 2 ranges, E12 has 12 resistors evenly spaced per
decade about 20% to the adjacent value, & E24 has 24 & includes the E12 series
giving value at about 10% apart. As tolerances improve there are also E24 &
E48 values available!
E12 1.0 1.2 1.5 1.8 2.2 2.7 3.3 3.9 4.7 5.6 6.8 8.2
E24 + 1.1 + 1.3 + 1.6 + 2.0 + 2.4 + 3.0 + 3.6 + 4.3 + 5.1 + 6.2 + 7.5 + 9.1
Here is a useful list of 128 values obtained wiw E12 resistors.
Multiply or Divide by 10s for the range needed.

// = in parallel, + = in series
Series combinations are better for high voltage.
Similar values spread the power dissipation more evenly.
So now you can replace that experimental preset value with 2 fixed value Rs.

From Jim VK7JH
R1 x R2
R = -------
R1 + R2
The formular can be written as:
1 1 1
--- = --- + ---
R R1 R2
Re-aranging gives:
1 1 1
--- = --- - ---
R2 R R1
Putting it in the form that you started with:
R x R1
R2 = ----------
R1 - R
R is the value you want & R1 is something higher in value.
There are tables that give the combination of prefered values to
save the calculations. I think I saw a TECH buletin....
Why Don't U send an interesting bul?
