Two sources of equal $emf$ are connected to an external resistance $R$. The internal resistances of the two sources are $R_1$ and $R_2$ $(R_2 > R_1)$. If the potential difference across the source having internal resistance $R_2$ is zero,then:

  • A
    $R = \frac{R_2(R_1 + R_2)}{(R_2 - R_1)}$
  • B
    $R = R_2 - R_1$
  • C
    $R = \frac{R_1 R_2}{(R_1 + R_2)}$
  • D
    $R = \frac{R_1 R_2}{(R_2 - R_1)}$
