When there are directed edges in the graph, as it is impossible to move back from B to A when the edges are directed.

Both algorithms have the same efficiency and both are based on the same greedy approach. But Kruskal's algorithm is much easier to implement.
Complexity prim = O(E+ V logV). E edge and V vertex. kurskal = O(E lgV ).
The correctness of either Prim's or Kruskal's algorithm, is not affected by negative edges in the graph. They both work fine with negative edges. The question boils down to "Does a Priority Queue of numbers work with negative numbers?" because of the fact that both Prim's and Kruskal's algorithm use a priority queue. Of course -- as negative numbers are simply numbers smaller than 0. The "<" sign will still work with negative numbers.
First a vertex is selected arbitrarily. on each iteration we expand the tree by simply attaching to it the nearest vertex not in the tree. the algorithm stops after all yhe graph vertices have been included.. one main criteria is the tree should not be cyclic.

The Prim algorithm was developed in 1930 by Vojtech Jarnik, a Czech mathematician. It was later rediscovered by Robert C. Prim in 1957, who was a computer scientist.
The C code for Prim's algorithm can be found in the following link. https://sites.google.com/site/itstudentjunction/lab-programming-solutions/data-structures-programs/program-to-find-minimal-spanning-tree-using--prims-algorithm
The runtime complexity of Prim's algorithm is O(V2) or O(E log V), where V is the number of vertices and E is the number of edges in the graph.

The runtime complexity of Prim's algorithm for finding the minimum spanning tree of a graph is O(V2) using an adjacency matrix or O(E log V) using a binary heap.
The runtime of Prim's algorithm for finding the minimum spanning tree of a graph is O(V2) with a simple implementation, or O(E log V) with a more efficient implementation using a priority queue.

Priority queues can be found in operating systems for load-balancing and interrupt handling, network servers for bandwidth management, compression algorithms (such as Huffman encoding), Dijkstra's algorithm, Prim's algorithm and artificial intelligence systems.
