Point out the right statements about the validity of Kirchhoff's junction rule,
- A it is based on conservation of charge.
- B outgoing currents add up and are equal to incoming currents at a junction.
- C bending or reorienting the wire does not change the validity of Kirchhoff's junction rule.
- D All of the above
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) All of the above
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to Kirchhoff's junction rule, \[ \Sigma I=0 \] L.e. sum of total incoming currents \(=\) sum of total outgoing currents. Hence, it is based on the law of conservation of charges. Henoe, all the statements are correct.
