In a potentiometer experiment,the balancing length with a cell $E_{1}$ of unknown e.m.f. is $\ell_{1} \ cm$. By shunting the cell with a resistance $R \ \Omega$,the balancing length becomes $\frac{\ell_{1}}{2} \ cm$. The internal resistance $(r)$ of the cell is:

  • A
    $r=0$
  • B
    $r=\frac{R}{2}$
  • C
    $r=2 R$
  • D
    $r=R$
