Kirchhoff's law of junction, ΣI = 0, is based on

  • conservation of energy

  • conservation of charge

  • conservation of energy as well as charge

  • conservation of momentum


B.

conservation of charge

Kirchhoff's first law states that in an electric circuit, the algebraic sum of the currents meeting at any junction in the circuit is zero.

        

i.e         Σ i = 0

Hence, according to Kirchhoff's law

      i1 + i2 = i3 + i4 + i5

Thus, the sum of currents flowing towards the junction is equal to the sum of the currents flowing away from the junction. In other words, when a steady current flows in a circuit, then there is neither any accumulation of charge at any point in the circuit, nor any charge is removed from there.

Thus, Kirchhoff's first law expresses the conservation of charge.
