An ammeter having very low internal resistance is mistakenly connected directly across the terminals of a cell. Which immediate consequence is most likely?
a) No current flows because the ammeter has negligible resistance
b) The ammeter registers the cell's emf, acting like a voltmeter
c) A large current flows through the ammeter, possibly damaging it
d) Only a small current limited by the cell's internal resistance flows through the ammeter, so it remains safe
