Which row correctly describes Kirchhoff's laws?

1. AKirchhoff's first law: The sum of the currents entering a junction equals the sum of the currents leaving the junction. physics principle applied for first law: conservation of charge. Kirchhoff's second law: The sum of the e.m.f.s around any closed loop in a circuit equals the sum of the p.d.s around the same loop. physics principle applied for second law: conservation of energy
2. BKirchhoff's first law: The sum of the currents entering a junction equals the sum of the currents leaving the junction. physics principle applied for first law: conservation of energy. Kirchhoff's second law: The sum of the e.m.f.s around any closed loop in a circuit equals the sum of the p.d.s around the same loop. physics principle applied for second law: conservation of charge
3. CKirchhoff's first law: The sum of the e.m.f.s around any closed loop in a circuit equals the sum of the p.d.s around the same loop. physics principle applied for first law: conservation of energy.
