Kafka Topic Leadership

dear Kafka users,

I two few questions regarding how Kafka choose which partition is the
leader for a topic :
1. By default, how Kafka choose which topic is the leader when a topic is
created? is there any preference by partition number or by which broker the
partition resides?
2. Does adding partitions by altering topic will affect the topic
leadership?

Thank you,
