NEET Physics Kirchhoff's Laws Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Kirchhoff's junction rule states that the algebraic sum of currents at a junction is zero. | Reason (R): This rule is based on the principle of conservation of charge.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Kirchhoff's junction rule is grounded in the conservation of charge, which dictates that charge cannot accumulate at a junction, implying the sum of currents must be zero.
