If you took a hollowed out metal donut, filled it with mercury, and wrapped the mercury filled donut with a live AC conducter, what would happen? What if the conductor was carrying a DC charge instead?

What if this donut was non metallic, perhaps ceramic?

Depends on what metal the donut is made out of.
