Physics Question on Current electricity

Kirchhoff's first law, i.e. i=0\sum i =0 at a junction, deals with the conservation of

A

momentum

B

angular momentum

C

charge

D

energy

Answer

charge

Explanation

Solution

The principle of conservation of electric charge implies that: at any node (junction) in an electrical circuit , the sum of currents flowing into that node is equal to the sum of currents flowing out of that node. This is known as Kirchhoff's current law.
