Eels are able to generate current with biological cells called electroplaques. The electroplaques in an eel are arranged in $100$ rows, each row stretching horizontally along the body of the fish containing $5000$ electroplaques. The arrangement is suggestively shown below. Each electroplaques has an emf of $0.15\, V$ and internal resistance of $0.25 \,\Omega$ The water surrounding the eel completes a circuit between the head and its tail. If the water surrounding it has a resistance of $500 \,\Omega$, the current an eel can produce in water is about .............. $A$
