Which pair correctly matches each Kirchhoff law with the circuit feature where it is applied?
ACurrent law $$ closed loop; Voltage law $$ junction
BCurrent law $$ resistor only; Voltage law $$ battery only
CCurrent law $$ junction; Voltage law $$ closed loop
DCurrent law $$ ammeter; Voltage law $$ voltmeter
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Current law $$ junction; Voltage law $$ closed loop
Kirchhoff's Current Law is applied at a junction or node, where currents split or combine. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law is applied around a closed loop, where voltage rises and drops are summed algebraically.
