    Kirchhoffs law regarding the algebraic sum of currents at any junction in a circuit is based on the law of conservation of

    A)  charge                                

    B)  energy

    C)  momentum     

    D)  mass

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Kirchhoff?s current law  results     from    the   conservation of charge. It applies to a junction or node in a circuit, a point in the circuit where charge   has   several  possible paths to travel. The total charge flowing into a node must be the same as the total charge flowing out of the node. So,                 \[{{I}_{A}}={{I}_{B}}+{{I}_{C}}+{{I}_{D}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{I}_{B}}+{{I}_{C}}+{{I}_{D}}-{{I}_{A}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\Sigma I=0\]
