Kirchhoff's Current Law at a junction is based on conservation of which physical quantity?
AEnergy
BCharge
CMomentum
DPotential difference
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Charge
Kirchhoff's Current Law follows from conservation of charge.
Since charge cannot accumulate at an ideal junction in steady state, total current entering the node equals total current leaving it.
