Eels are able to generate current with biological cells called electroplaques. The electroplaques are arranged in 100 rows, each row contains 5000 electroplaques. Each electroplaque has an e.m.f. of 0.15 V and internal resistance of `0.25 Omega`. The water surrounding the eel completes a circuit between the head and tail. If water surrounding it has a resistance of `500 Omega`, the current an eel can produce in water is about

1.5 A

B

3.0 A

C

15 A

D

30 A.
