Question
- Name and state the law which relates the potential difference and current in a conductor.
- What is the necessary condition for a conductor to obey the law named above in part (a) ?

Solution
- The law is called Ohm's law. It states that the current flowing through the conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across the ends of the conductor, given that the temperature remains constant.
- The temperature should remain constant.

The circuit depicted in the figure is employed for studying Ohm’s Law. Instead of using a standard resistor, a student opts for a glass tube filled with mercury (tube 1), connected to the circuit through two electrodes, E1 and E2. He records the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter, thereby calculating the resistance. The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills tube 2.

- the resistance in both the cases.
- the voltmeter readings in both the cases.
- the specific resistance in both the cases.
