Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to build a multiple-load voltage divider that applies a negative voltage to one of the loads. I’ve followed the steps and example given in "Practical Electronics for Inventors" by Paul Scherz. Using the circuit from the book and the specified load requirements, everything works perfectly. However, when I define my own loads and change the voltages, I can never seem to achieve the desired result using exactly the same technique described in the book. I’m wondering if I’m missing something fundamental in the way I’m setting up or calculating the circuit. Has anyone come across this before, or could point me in the right direction? This is the example from the book:
This is the version I built:
