Which physical principle is the basis of Kirchhoff's Current Law?
AConservation of momentum
BConservation of energy
CConservation of charge
DConservation of mass
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Conservation of charge
Kirchhoff's Current Law follows from conservation of charge. Charge cannot accumulate indefinitely at an ideal junction, so the current entering must equal the current leaving.
