The Potentiometer Voltage Divider provides the voltage output when a potentiometer is used as a voltage divider to obtain a manually adjustable output voltage at the slider form a fixed input voltage applied across the two ends of the potentiometer. The voltage across R_L can be calculated by `V_L=(R_2R_L)/(R_1R_L+R_2R_L+R_1R_2)V_s`, where:
