Q118 / 180 · AIIMS 2013 · Physics
Assertion : Total current entering a circuit is equal to leaving the circuit by Kirchhoff's law.
Reason : It is based on conservation of energy.
- Correct answerAIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Solution
The sum of all the currents directed towards a point in circuit is equal to the sum of all the currents directed away from that point. It is based on conservation of electrical energy.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
