11.7 Kirchhoff’s Junction Rule

Describe a circuit or elements of a circuit by applying Kirchhoff’s junction rule.

• Kirchhoff’s junction rule is a consequence of the conservation of electric charge.
• Kirchhoff’s junction rule states that the total amount of charge entering a junction per unit time must equal the total amount of charge exiting that junction per unit time. Relevant equation: TOPIC 11.8 Resistor-Capacitor (RC) Circuits
