Question

Consider the following two statements:
(A) Kirchhoff's Junction Law follows from conservation of charge.
(B) Kirchhoff's Loop Law follows from conservative nature of electric field.

• A. Both A and B are correct
• B. A is correct but B is wrong
• C. A is correct but A is wrong
• D. Both A and B are wrong

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both A and B are correct

Kirchhoff's Junction law states that total current(charge) entering the junction is equal to total current(charge) leaving the junction hence, total charge across junction remains conserved.
Also, Kirchhoff's loop law states that the directed sum of the electrical potential differences (voltage) around any closed network is zero or the sum of the emfs in any closed loop is equivalent to the sum of the potential drops in that loop.
