Kirchhoff's first law is the manifestation of:
Correct answer: D. Law of conservation of charge
- A. Law of conservation of momentum
- B. Law of conservation of mass
- C. Law of conservation of energy
- D. Law of conservation of charge
Explanation
Kirchhoff's current law (1st Law) states that current flowing into a node (or a junction) must be equal to current flowing out of it. This is a consequence of charge conservation.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
