Vedclass · Answer

(B) Kirchhoff's junction law (also known as Kirchhoff's Current Law or $KCL$) states that the algebraic sum of currents meeting at any junction in a circuit is zero.This implies that the total current entering a junction must equal the total current leaving the junction.Since current is defined as the rate of flow of charge $(I = dq/dt)$,the conservation of current implies that charge is neither created nor destroyed at the junction.Therefore,Kirchhoff's junction law is based on the law of conservation of charge.

Kirchhoff's junction law represents the conservation of which physical quantity?
