NEW TERMS AND WORDS
Kirchhoff's current law - the algebraic sum of the currents at any node must equal zero.
junction - a circuit point where components are joined.
parallel branch - a circuit loop through which a part of the total circuit current flows.
nodes - circuit points where Kirchhoff's current law can be applied; also called junctions.
junction - a circuit point where components are joined.
algebraic sum - a combination of positive and negative values based on the rules of algebra.
