A 1.00-MΩ voltmeter is placed in parallel with a 75.0-kΩ resistor in a circuit.

(a) Draw a circuit diagram of the connection. 

(b) What is the resistance of the combination? 

(c) If the voltage across the combination is kept the same as it was across the 75.0-kΩ resistor alone, what is the percent increase in current? 

(d) If the current through the combination is kept the same as it was through the 75.0-kΩ resistor alone, what is the percentage decrease in voltage? 

(e) Are the changes found in parts (c) and (d) significant? Discuss.
