What is another word for potential divider?
Pronunciation: [pətˈɛnʃə͡l dɪvˈa͡ɪdə] (IPA) 
A potential divider, also known as a voltage divider, is an electronic circuit component that reduces a voltage or divides it into smaller, more manageable values. There are many synonyms for the term potential divider, such as voltage divider, resistive divider, attenuator, voltage splitter, and potentiometer. Each of these terms describes the same concept of dividing an input voltage into smaller output voltages. The use of different terms may depend on the context of the circuit, the specific components used, or the purpose of the application. Regardless of the terminology, potential dividers are essential components in many electronic applications, ranging from audio systems to power supplies.
