Kirchhoff’s Current Law

Kirchoff’s Current Law postulates that the algebraic sum of the current flowing into a junction J equals the net current flowing away through another path. This occurs when there is a network or mesh of electrical circuits with many joints. For instance, Ia, Ib, and Ic flowing into a junction from different paths, equals the total current leaving the circuit. Importantly, this concept further explains that the current converging at a point, say J., does not necessarily accumulate there but flows away through another well-defined path. Hence, J = Ia Ib Ic, etc.
