Kirchhoff's Current Law is a direct consequence of conservation of
Aenergy
Bmomentum
Ccharge
Dmass
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. charge
Current is the rate of flow of charge. At a junction, charge cannot accumulate in the ideal steady-state treatment, so total incoming charge per unit time equals total outgoing charge per unit time. Hence KCL follows from conservation of charge.
