Kirchhoff s current law states that
Correct answer: B. Hebraic sum of the currents meeting at the junction is zero
- A. net current flow at the junction is positive
- B. Hebraic sum of the currents meeting at the junction is zero
- C. no current can leave the junction without some current entering it.
- D. total sum of currents meeting at the junction is zero
Explanation
KCL requires the algebraic sum of currents at a junction to be zero, taking entering and leaving currents with opposite signs. Option b expresses this signed-sum rule, whereas simply adding current magnitudes would not.
