$n$ identical cells are joined in series,with two cells $A$ and $B$ in the loop having reversed polarities. The $EMF$ of each cell is $E$ and the internal resistance is $r$. The potential difference across cell $A$ or $B$ is (where $n > 4$):

  • A
    $\frac{2E}{n}$
  • B
    $2E(1 - \frac{1}{n})$
  • C
    $\frac{4E}{n}$
  • D
    $2E(1 - \frac{2}{n})$

Eels are able to generate current with biological cells called electroplaques. The electroplaques in an eel are arranged in $100$ rows,each row stretching horizontally along the body of the fish containing $5000$ electroplaques. The arrangement is shown below. Each electroplaque has an emf of $0.15\, V$ and internal resistance of $0.25\,\Omega$. The water surrounding the eel completes a circuit between the head and its tail. If the water surrounding it has a resistance of $500\,\Omega$,the current an eel can produce in water is about .............. $A$.
