Question

Consider statements: (I) Kirchhoff’s junction law follows from conservation of charge. (II) Kirchhoff’s loop law follows from conservation of energy. Which is correct?

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Junction current equality ΣIᵢₙ = ΣIₒᵤₜ is conservation of charge. Step 2: Loop potential sum ΣΔV = 0 follows from conservation of energy. Step 3: Both statements are correct.
