Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): The Kirchhoff's current law states that sum of currents entering at any node is equal to the sum of currents leaving that node. Reason (R): The Kirchhoff's current law is based on the law of conservation of charge. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Kirchhoff's Current Law: \[ \sum I=0 \] at a node. KCL is derived from: \[ \text{Law of Conservation of Charge} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
