Kirchhoff's current law (KCL)

At any node (junction) in an electrical circuit, the sum of currents flowing into that node is equal to the sum of currents flowing out of that node.

OR

The algebraic sum of currents in a network of conductors meeting at a point is zero.



(The current entering any junction is equal to the current leaving that junction.i2 + i3 = i1 + i4)


\sum_{k=1}^n {I}_k = 0
n is the total number of branches with currents flowing towards or away from the node.
