AIPMT PRELIMS 2010 Physics Kirchhoff's Laws Assertion Reason Question
Consider the following two statements
(A) Kirchhoff's junction law follows from the conservation of charge.
(B) Kirchhoff's loop law follows from the conservation of energy.
Which of the following is correct?
Both (A) and (B) are correct
Both (A) and (B) are wrong
(A) is correct and (B) is wrong
(A) is wrong and (B) is correct
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Kirchhoff's junction law is based on the conservation of charge, as it states that the total current entering a junction equals the total current leaving. Kirchhoff's loop law is based on the conservation of energy, as it states that the sum of the electromotive forces and potential differences in a closed loop is zero.
