Homemade high-voltage probe not dividing the voltage by proper amount
I have tried to build a homemade high-voltage probe, as commercial ones are too expensive.
Firstly, I connected a 1 MΩ resistor to a ~1.4 V battery which gave an output voltage of ~0.2 V. By using ...

High-voltage oscilloscope probe
I need to measure a high-voltage signal (1kV) with an oscilloscope without a commercial high voltage probe. So I have to design my own 100:1 probe.
The oscilloscope has an input impedance of 1MOhm and ...
