The diagram shows a circuit used in an experiment to determine the $emf$ $(E)$ and internal resistance $(r)$ of the cell $C$. $A$ graph was plotted of the potential difference $V$ between the terminals of the cell against the current $I$,which was varied by adjusting the rheostat. The graph is shown on the right; $x$ and $y$ are the intercepts of the graph with the axes as shown. What is the internal resistance of the cell?

  • A
    $x$
  • B
    $y$
  • C
    $x/y$
  • D
    $y/x$
