$A$ cell of constant $e.m.f.$ is connected first to an external resistance $R_1$ and then to an external resistance $R_2$. If the power consumed in both cases is the same,what is the internal resistance of the cell?

  • A
    $\sqrt{R_1 R_2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{R_1}{R_2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{R_1 - R_2}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{R_1 + R_2}{2}$
