Kirchhoff's first and second laws of electrical circuits are consequences of

  1. conservation of energy and electric charge respectively
  2. conservation of energy
  3. conservation of electric charge and energy respectively
  4. conservation of electric charge

Answer

(3) conservation of electric charge and energy respectively

Solution

As per NCERT:

Junction rule (first law): sum of currents entering a junction = sum leaving it — no charge accumulates, i.e. conservation of electric charge.

Loop rule (second law): algebraic sum of potential changes round a closed loop is zero — electric potential depends only on position, i.e. conservation of energy.

Answer: (3)

The electric resistance of a certain wire of iron is R. If its length and radius are both doubled, then

  1. The resistance will be doubled and the specific resistance will be halved.
  2. The resistance will be halved and the specific resistance will remain unchanged.
  3. The resistance will be halved and the specific resistance will be doubled.
  4. The resistance and the specific resistance, will both remain unchanged.
