Two cells,having the same $e.m.f.$ $E$,are connected in series through an external resistance $R$. The cells have internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ $(r_1 > r_2)$ respectively. When the circuit is closed,the potential difference across the first cell is zero. The value of $R$ is

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