$A$ resistor of resistance $R$ is connected between the terminals of a cell of $\operatorname{emf} E$ and internal resistance $r$. If $I$ is the current through the circuit,the terminal potential difference of the cell is given by:

  • A
    $I R$
  • B
    $E - I r$
  • C
    $\frac{E R}{R + r}$
  • D
    $\frac{E - R}{r}$
