$A$ battery of emf $E$ has an internal resistance $r$. $A$ variable resistance $R$ is connected to the terminals of the battery. $A$ current $i$ is drawn from the battery. $V$ is the terminal potential difference. If $R$ alone is gradually reduced to zero,which of the following best describes $i$ and $V$?

  • A
    $i$ approaches zero,$V$ approaches $E$
  • B
    $i$ approaches $\frac{E}{r}$,$V$ approaches zero
  • C
    $i$ approaches $\frac{E}{r}$,$V$ approaches $E$
  • D
    $i$ approaches infinity,$V$ approaches $E$
