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.

The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills tube 2.
