Which pair of statements correctly matches Kirchhoff's laws with their usual place of application?
AKCL for closed loops; KVL for open terminals
BKCL at junctions; KVL around closed loops
CKCL across resistors only; KVL at sources only
DKCL in series circuits only; KVL in parallel circuits only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. KCL at junctions; KVL around closed loops
Kirchhoff's Current Law is applied at junctions or nodes, where currents split or combine. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law is applied around closed loops, where potential rises and drops are summed algebraically.
