A two-stage ladder network of four identical resistors.
A two-stage ladder network of four identical resistors.
A two-stage resistor ladder network is connected across an ideal battery of potential difference \(V_0\). The network consists of two identical series resistors, \(R_1\) and \(R_2\), along the top rail and two identical shunt resistors, \(R_3\) and \(R_4\), connected across the rails as shown. All four resistors have the same resistance \(R\). Which of the following claims correctly compares the potential difference \(V_1\) across resistor \(R_1\) to the potential difference \(V_2\) across resistor \(R_2\), and provides the correct physical justification?
