$A$ battery of internal resistance $1 \, \Omega$ and $emf$ $3 \, V$ sends a current through $1 \, m$ of uniform wire of resistance $5 \, \Omega$. The poles of a cell of $emf$ $1.4 \, V$ are connected to two points on the wire such that no current passes through this cell. The potential gradient of the wire is:

  • A
    $2.5 \, V$
  • B
    $2.5 \, V/m$
  • C
    $3 \, V/m$
  • D
    $1.5 \, V/m$
