alleryStart learning →Kirchhoff's loop rule is described as expressing the conservation of:
AOf momentum
BOf the energy
COf the charge
DOf the mass
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Of the energy
1. Each Kirchhoff rule encodes a conservation law.
2. There are two Kirchhoff rules for circuits.
3. Kirchhoff's loop rule describes conservation of energy in electrical circuits.
4. The junction rule handles charge instead.
