Question

Given below are two statements:\ Statement I: Kirchhoff's junction rule is based on the conservation of charge.\ Statement II: At any junction, the sum of currents entering is equal to the sum of currents leaving.

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

Because charge cannot accumulate at a junction in a steady current circuit (conservation of charge), the total current entering must equal the total current leaving.
