    The four wires from a larger circuit intersect at junction A as shown. What is the magnitude and direction of the current between points A and B?

    A) 2A from A to B

    B) 2A from B to A

    C) 3A from A to B

    D) 2A from B to A

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Kirchhoff?s junction rule states that the algebraic sum of all currents into and out of any branch point is zero: \[\sum I=0\] By convention, the sign of current entering a junction is positive and current leaving a junction is negative. \[4A+5A-6A+{{I}_{AB}}=0,\]Therefore \[{{I}_{AB}}=-3A.\] The wire between points A and B carries a current of 3A away from the junction.
