$A$ galvanometer together with an unknown resistance in series is connected to two identical batteries each of $1.5\, V$. When the batteries are connected in series,the galvanometer records a current of $1\, A$,and when the batteries are in parallel,the current is $0.6\, A$. What is the internal resistance of the battery?

  • A
    $r = \frac{2}{3}\, \Omega$
  • B
    $r = \frac{2}{5}\, \Omega$
  • C
    $r = \frac{1}{3}\, \Omega$
  • D
    $r = \frac{3}{2}\, \Omega$
