Kirchhoff's current law and voltage law respectively are based on the law of conservation of
  1. charge, energy.
  2. charge, momentum.
  3. energy, charge.
  4. momentum, charge.

Solution

Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) is based on the law of conservation of charge. It states that the total current entering a junction is equal to the total current leaving the junction, as charge cannot be created or destroyed. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) is based on the law of conservation of energy. It states that the sum of the electrical potential differences (voltages) around any closed loop in a circuit must be zero, as energy is conserved in the system.
