Assertion (A): Kirchhoff's junction rule...

Assertion (A): Kirchhoff's junction rule is applicable for any number of lines meeting at a point in an electrical circuit.
Reason (R): When there is a flow of steady current, then there is no accumulation of charge at the junction.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B

Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

C

A is true but R is false

D

A is false and R is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Kirchhoff.s junction rule is applicable at any point of an electrical circuit and there is no limitation of number of lines meeting at the point . So the assertion is true.
While steady current is flowing there is no accumulation of charge at the junction. Total incoming charge = total outgoing charge. So the reason is also true and explains the assertion.
