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 .............. $A$.

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $30$
