The resistance in the middle plays no part in the charging process of C, as it does not alter either the potential difference across the R C combination or the current through it.

$RC$

$2 RC$

$\frac{1}{2} RC$

$RC lo g 2$

The resistance in the middle plays no part in the charging process of $C$ , as it does not alter either the potential difference across the $RC$ combination or the current through it.
