NEET Physics Kirchhoff's Laws MCQ Question
Which combination of statements accurately describes Kirchhoff's Laws?
Kirchhoff's junction rule states that the sum of currents entering a junction equals the sum of currents leaving it.
Kirchhoff's loop rule states that the sum of the potential differences around any closed loop in a circuit is zero.
Kirchhoff's laws apply only to series circuits and not to parallel circuits.
Kirchhoff's laws are applicable regardless of the arrangement of resistors and power sources in a circuit.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statements A and B accurately reflect Kirchhoff's Laws, where the junction rule ensures current conservation, and the loop rule confirms energy conservation in closed circuits. Statement C is incorrect as Kirchhoff's laws apply to both series and parallel circuits, while D is a broad statement that holds true.
