$n$ equal cells,each having emf $E$ and internal resistance $r$,are connected in a circuit with an external resistance $R$. If the same current flows in the circuit whether the cells are connected in series or in parallel,then:

  • A
    $R = nr$
  • B
    $R = \frac{r}{n}$
  • C
    $R = n^2r$
  • D
    $R = r$
