Item 15 refers to the following diagram. The device above represents a potential divider. The expression used to determine the output voltage is

  1. (A)V_o = I (R_1 + R_2)
  2. (B)V_o = V_{in} \left(\frac{R_1 + R_2}{R_1}\right)
  3. (C)V_o = V_{in} \left(\frac{R_1}{R_1 + R_2}\right)
  4. (D)V_o = I (R_1 + R_2)
