Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) states that:

  1. The algebraic sum of currents entering a junction is equal to the algebraic sum of currents leaving the junction.

  2. The total current flowing into a junction is equal to the total current flowing out of the junction.

  3. The current entering a junction is equal to the current leaving the junction.

  4. The current flowing through a resistor is proportional to the voltage across the resistor.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

KCL is based on the principle of conservation of charge, which states that charge cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the total current entering a junction must be equal to the total current leaving the junction.

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that:

  1. The algebraic sum of voltages around a closed loop is equal to zero.

  2. The total voltage across a circuit is equal to the sum of the voltages across each component in the circuit.

  3. The voltage across a resistor is proportional to the current flowing through the resistor.

  4. The voltage across a capacitor is proportional to the charge stored on the capacitor.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

KVL is based on the principle of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the total voltage around a closed loop must be equal to zero.

In a series circuit, the current is:

  1. The same throughout the circuit.

  2. Different at different points in the circuit.

  3. Zero at some points in the circuit.

  4. Infinite at some points in the circuit.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a series circuit, there is only one path for the current to flow. Therefore, the current is the same at all points in the circuit.

In a parallel circuit, the voltage is:

  1. The same across all components.

  2. Different across different components.

  3. Zero across some components.

  4. Infinite across some components.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths for the current to flow. Therefore, the voltage is the same across all components.
