MCQs on Kirchhoffs Law

Kirchhoff’s junction Law or Kirchhoff’s Current Law

The total current entering a junction or a node is equal to the charge  leaving the node as no charge is lost.

Kirchhoff’s Loop Law or Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law

The voltage around a loop equals the sum of every voltage drop in the same loop for any closed network and also equals zero.
