Total Current In vs Current In 1
Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL)
Total current entering a junction equals total current leaving.
Principle
Sum(I_in) = Sum(I_out)
Based on conservation of charge.
Example Calculation
2 A and 1 A entering, 1.5 A and 1.5 A leaving.
- 01Total in = 2 + 1 = 3 A
- 02Total out = 1.5 + 1.5 = 3 A
- 03Difference = 0 A. KCL satisfied.
