Kirchhoff's first law ie, $\displaystyle \Sigma i=0$ at a junction is based on the law of conservation of

  1. Charge

  2. Energy

  3. Momentum

  4. Angular momentum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Kirchhoff's first law is based on the law of conservation of charge.

The Kirchhoff's first law $(\displaystyle\sum i=0)$ and second law $\left(\displaystyle \sum iR=\displaystyle\sum E\right)$, where the symbols have their usual meanings, are respectively based on

  1. Conservation of charge, conservation of energy

  2. Conservation of charge, conservation of momentum

  3. Conservation of energy, conservation of charge

  4. Conservation of momentum, conservation of charge


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
$\sum i=0$  (Conservation of charge).
Charge can neither be created or destroyed.
$iR=\sum E$ (Conservation of energy).
Total potential around a loop$=0$ or
Drop in Potential energy=Energy dissipated.
