Two cells $E_1$ and $E_2$ having equal $EMF$ $E$ and internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ $(r_1 > r_2)$ respectively are connected in series. This combination is connected to an external resistance $R$. It is observed that the potential difference across the cell $E_1$ becomes zero. The value of $R$ will be

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