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 answer
    A
    If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  • B
    If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  • C
    If assertion is true but reason is false.
  • D
    If 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'.
