Electric circuits — practice question

An $8\,\Omega$ resistor and a $4\,\Omega$ resistor are joined in series to a power supply. When a voltmeter is placed across the $8\,\Omega$ resistor, it shows $36\,\text{V}$. What reading will the voltmeter give if it is instead connected across the $4\,\Omega$ resistor?

  • A$12\,\text{V}$
  • B$18\,\text{V}$
  • C$72\,\text{V}$
  • D$108\,\text{V}$
