Series Circuit Resistor Help: Solutions for Q1 and Q2

[MegaDeth]

Right ok, all the question says is:

"For each of the following circuits complete the readings of the voltmeters."

If it's any help, it's related to Kirchoff's Second Law that in any closed loop, the sum of the p.d. across components in the loop is equal to the p.d. of the power supply.

Sigh.

Well, that's a completely different question then. The resistor values can be anything.

To fill in the blank voltmeter readings, you just remember that the voltage across parallel components is always the same, and like you said, the sum of the voltage drops and increases around a closed loop has to add to zero. You should be able to fill in the blank voltmeters now.
