$A$ cell sends a current through a resistance $R_1$ for time $t$. Now,the same cell sends a current through a resistance $R_2$ for the same time $t$. If the heat produced in both cases is the same,then the internal resistance of the cell is:

  • A
    $\frac{R_1 + R_2}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{R_1 - R_2}{2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{R_1 R_2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{R_1 + R_2}$
