Two cells with the same e.m.f. $E$ and different internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ are connected in series to an external resistance $R$. The value of $R$ so that the potential difference across the first cell is zero is

  • A
    $\sqrt{r_1 r_2}$
  • B
    $r_1+r_2$
  • C
    $r_1-r_2$
  • D
    $\frac{r_1+r_2}{2}$
