THE USE OF MATLAB IN DEVELOPING THE SIMULATION OF THE VOLTAGE DIVIDER TO BE IMPLEMENTED AS A MEDIA OF TEACHING IN CLASS THAT HAS ADOPTED ALFHE (ACTIVE LEARNING FOR HIGHER EDUCATION) TEACHING STRATEGY[9][10][11][12][13][14]

On this occasion, the author discusses the use of MATLAB programming to simulate the principle of the voltage divider and its circuit analysis. This simulation can be used as a media of teaching to support the implementation of ALFHE (Active Learning for Higher Education) teaching strategy [10]. Voltage divider circuits discussed in this article consists of a DC source voltage (Direct Current) of 10 Volts, and two resistors. The first resistor called R1 and the second one is a variable resistor and called R2. The author will show that the voltage measured on R2 would be close enough to the value of the source voltage if the value of R2 is much greater than R1 (R2?R1). The author will also show that the value of R2 = 10 X R1 will make the voltage across R2 to be about 90.91% of the source voltage value.
