Question

A voltage of V0 is applied from the battery to the RC circuit as shown in the figure. The potential difference across the capacitor is observed with the help of a voltmeter whose internal resistance is R = 12 MΩ.  if the values of the resistor and capacitor are R=4 MΩ and C=20µF, respectively, 

a)Calculate the time constant (τ) of this RC circuit by including the internal resistance of voltmeter. 

b) Calculate the time constant (τ) of this RC circuit by not including  the internal resistance of voltmeter. 

c) What is the difference in your results of a) and b)?  Explain the difference with its reason
