Multiple Choice

If $\mathrm { R } _ { 1 } = 12 \mathrm { k } \Omega$ and $\mathrm { R } _ { 2 } = 5\mathrm { k } \Omega$ and they are wired in series across a 20 V source, what is VR₁ and VR₂ ?

A) $\mathrm { VR } 1 = 0 \mathrm {~V} , \mathrm { VR } 2 = 20 \mathrm {~V}$
B) $\mathrm { VR } 1 = 5.88 \mathrm {~V} , \mathrm { VR } 2 = 14.12 \mathrm {~V}$
C) $\mathrm { VR } 1 = 10 \mathrm {~V} , \mathrm { VR } 2 = 10 \mathrm {~V}$
D) $\mathrm { VR } 1 = 14.12 \mathrm {~V} , \mathrm {~V} R 2 = 5.88 \mathrm {~V}$
