Practise IB Physics SL D.2.3 by applying conservation of electric charge to reactions, conductors and circuit junctions.
The diagram shows a junction in a circuit.

The currents in the three wires are related by I1=I2+I3.
State the fundamental law of Physics from which this relation is derived.
Conservation of «electric» charge
Marking guidance:
Do not accept 'Kirchoff's law' as the
sole answer.
If conservation of charge and Kirchoff's
Law are stated award [1].
If conservation of charge is listed along with other fundamental laws e.g.
conservation of energy, award [0].
