Voltage drop ...
Hi,
The last time I messed with ohm law was at highschool, a long, long time ago. I was searching the web and found this forum, so I thought I was a good idea to post here. I'm sorry in advance if I'm at the wrong place.
I have a little video decoder board which I'm trying to create an 'interface' for it. It has two power inputs, 12V and a 5V. So, I bought a power adapter of 12V and 500mA. Is it possible, using resistors, to drop its voltage from 12V to 5V? What resistor(s) should I use?
Thanks!
