The node rule is one of Kirchhoff's laws regarding circuits and current. This law states that at any junction in an electrical circuit, the amount of current flowing into the junction is equal to the amount of current flowing out of the junction. This law is also referred to as Kirchhoff's junction rule, Kirchhoff's nodal rule, Kirchhoff's current law, and Kirchhoff's first law. This rule is an application of the conservation of electric charge, basically that charge within a circuit cannot be created or destroyed. | |||

The node rule is one of Kirchhoff's laws regarding circuits and current. This law states that at any junction in an electrical circuit, the amount of current flowing into the junction is equal to the amount of current flowing out of the junction. This law is also referred to as Kirchhoff's junction rule, Kirchhoff's nodal rule, Kirchhoff's current law, and Kirchhoff's first law. This rule is an application of the conservation of electric charge, basically that charge within a circuit cannot be created or destroyed.
Mathematically, the Node Rule states ∑ I = 0, where I stands for the current of the individual parts or wires in a circuit.
