A battery of emf E has an internal resistance r. A variable resistacne R is connected to the terminals of the battery. A current `i` is drawn from the battery. V is the terminal potential difference. If R alone is gradually reduced to zero, which of the following best describes `i` and V?

Options

A. i decreases te zeros, V approach `epsi`
B. i approaches an infinite value, V decreases to zero
C. i approaches `epsi r, V` aaproches `epsi`
D. I approaches `epsi//r`, V approaches zero

Answer

D
