Inductive dividers split AC input according to the reactance of the elements as for the resistive divider above.

Capacitive divider

Capacitive dividers do not pass DC input.

For an AC input a simple capacitive equation is:

(with components in the same positions as Figure 2.)

Any leakage current in the capactive elements requires use of the generalized expression with two impedances. By selection of parallel R and C elements in the proper proportions, the same division
