Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Kirchhoff's Second Law – The Voltage Law, (KVL)
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law or KVL, states that “in any closed loop network, the total voltage around the loop is equal to the sum of all the voltage drops within the same loop” which is also equal to zero. In other words the algebraic sum of all voltages within the loop must be equal to zero. This idea by Kirchhoff is known as the Conservation of Energy.

Between any two points in a circuit, the sum of all .............. is the same through any pathway.

  1. charge

  2. current

  3. potential difference

  4. resistance
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Kirchhoff's voltage law says that if we add up all the voltage drops that occur around the loop, the total will be equal to the total voltage applied across the loop.hence between any two point in the circuit , the sum of all the voltage drops is the same through any pathway.

Kirchoff's voltage law and current law are respectively in accordance with the conservation of 

  1. Charge and momentum

  2. Charge and energy

  3. Energy and charge

  4. Energy and momentum
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) is based on the law of conservation of energy, stating that the total potential change around any closed loop is zero. Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) is based on the law of conservation of charge, stating that the total current entering a junction must equal the total current leaving it.

Kirchhoff's junction law is equivalent to 

  1. conservation of energy

  2. conservation of charge

  3. conservation of electric potential

  4. conservation of electric flux
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Kirchhoff's junction law states that the algebraic sum of currents meeting at a junction is zero. Since electric current is the rate of flow of charge, this law is a direct consequence of the conservation of electric charge.

If the magnitude of voltage in a circuit changes with time between zero to peak value and direction changes periodically then the voltage is called 

  1. Alternative voltage

  2. direct voltage

  3. constant voltage

  4. reversible voltage
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

An alternating voltage is defined as a voltage whose magnitude changes continuously with time between zero and a peak value while periodically reversing its direction. Direct and constant voltages do not periodically change direction.

For a $DC$ circuit, Kirchoff's rules yield the following equations.
$I _{3}=I _{1}+I _{2}$
$10 = 3I _{1}-2I _{2}$
$50=2I _{2}+9.6I _{3}$
What is the current $I _{2}$ (Amps)?

  1. $0.131$
  2. $-1.37$
  3. $0.245$
  4. $-3.5$
  5. $1.00$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

Given: 1) I3 = I1 + I2, 2) 10 = 3I1 - 2I2, 3) 50 = 2I2 + 9.6I3. Substitute (1) into (3): 50 = 2I2 + 9.6(I1 + I2) = 9.6I1 + 11.6I2. Now solve the system: 3I1 - 2I2 = 10 (multiply by 3.2: 9.6I1 - 6.4I2 = 32). Subtract from 9.6I1 + 11.6I2 = 50: (11.6 + 6.4)I2 = 50 - 32 => 18I2 = 18 => I2 = 1.0 A.

Kirchhoff's Loop rule is a direct consequence of law of conservation of

  1. Charge

  2. Momentum

  3. Angular momentum

  4. Energy
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Kirchhoff's Loop rule (KVL) is based on the fact that the electric field is conservative, meaning the work done in moving a charge around a closed loop is zero, which corresponds to the conservation of energy.

Kirchoffs 1st and 2nd laws are based on conservation of

  1. Energy and charge respectively

  2. Charge and energy respectively

  3. Mass and charge respectively

  4. None of these above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Kirchhoff's $1$st law states that the total amount of current coming at a junction must be equal to the total amount of current going away from it i.e. the total charge must be conserved. Thus Kirchhoff's $1$st law is based on the conservation of charge.

Kirchhoff's $2$nd law states that the sum of the potential drop across all the components in a loop must be zero. Thus Kirchhoff's $2$nd law is based on the conservation of energy.
