Two cells with same emf $E$ but different internal resistances,$r_1$ and $r_2$,are connected in series to an external resistance $R$. If the potential difference across the first cell is zero,then the value of $R$ is

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