Kirchhoff's first rule obeys law of conservation of charge. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Kirchhoff's first rule, the current `(I_(1))` entering a given junction of the circuit in a certain time (t) = current `(I_(2))` leaving the junction during the same time (t). So, `I_(1)t = I_(2) t` or `q_(1) = q_(2)`,i.e., charge entering the junction is eqaul to the charge leaving that junction

Law of conservation of momentum

Law of conservation of electric charge

Principle of quantisation of charge

Kirchhoff's second law is based on law of conservation of

sum of mass and energy

momentum

energy

charge

Statement-1: If potential difference between two points is zero and resistance between those points is zero, current may flow between the points. Statement-2: Kirchhoff's 1^(st) law is based on conservation of charge.
