Question

Consider the following two statements

(A) Kirchhoff's junction law follows from the conservation of charge.

(B) Kirchhoff's loop law follows from the conservation of energy.

Which of the following is correct?

A Both (A) and (B) are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Both (A) and (B) are wrong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C (A) is correct and (B) is wrong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D (A) is wrong and (B) is correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
