$n$ identical cells are joined in series,with two cells $A$ and $B$ in the loop having reversed polarities. The $EMF$ of each cell is $E$ and the internal resistance is $r$. The potential difference across cell $A$ or $B$ is (where $n > 4$):

  • A
    $\frac{2E}{n}$
  • B
    $2E(1 - \frac{1}{n})$
  • C
    $\frac{4E}{n}$
  • D
    $2E(1 - \frac{2}{n})$
