According to Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL), what is the sum of currents entering any junction in an electrical circuit?

A Equal to the sum of voltages across the components.
B Always zero.
C Directly proportional to the total resistance.
D Dependent on the power of the source.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) states that the algebraic sum of currents entering a junction (or node) is equal to the algebraic sum of currents leaving that junction, implying that the net sum of currents at any junction is zero. This is a consequence of the conservation of electric charge.
