Explain the equivalent resistance of a series resistor network.

Why should an ammeter have low resistance?
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.
