$n$ identical cells,each of emf $E$ and internal resistance $r$,are joined in series to form a row. $m$ such rows are joined in parallel across a load resistance $R$. The current in each cell is:

  • A
    $\frac{nE}{nr + mR}$
  • B
    $\frac{mE}{nr + mR}$
  • C
    $\frac{E}{r + \frac{mR}{n}}$
  • D
    $\frac{E}{r + \frac{R}{n}}$
