Potential dividers — practice question

In the circuit diagram shown, every resistor is the same. The meter reading $V_1$ is $8.0\,\text{V}$, while the meter reading $V_2$ is $1.0\,\text{V}$. What values do the remaining voltmeters show?

  • A$V_3 = 1.5\,\text{V}$, $V_4 = 1.0\,\text{V}$
  • B$V_3 = 3.0\,\text{V}$, $V_4 = 2.0\,\text{V}$
  • C$V_3 = 4.5\,\text{V}$, $V_4 = 3.0\,\text{V}$
  • D$V_3 = 6.0\,\text{V}$, $V_4 = 4.0\,\text{V}$
