A circuit consists of an ideal battery of potential difference \(\varepsilon\) connected in series with two resistors, \(R_1\) and \(R_2\). A student uses a non-ideal voltmeter with a finite internal resistance \(R_V\) to measure the potential difference across resistor \(R_2\). How does the measured voltage \(V_{\text{meas}}\) compare to the true voltage \(V_{\text{true}}\) across \(R_2\) before the voltmeter was connected, and why?
