Q: Kirchhoff's second rule (the loop rule) is an application of conservation of what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Kirchhoff's Second Rule Kirchhoff's second rule (the loop rule) is an application of conservation of energy. The loop rule is stated in terms of potential, V , rather than potential energy, but the two are related since PE elec = qV . Recall that emf is the potential difference of a source when no current is flowing. In a closed loop, whatever energy is supplied by emf must be transferred into other forms by devices in the loop, since there are no other ways in which energy can be transferred into or out of the circuit. Figure 21.23 illustrates the changes in potential in a simple series circuit loop. Kirchhoff's second rule requires emf equals the sum of the. Choices: - heating - Rock - mineral - energy A:

energy
