===Formula===
*<math>\sum_sum I_n=I_1 + I_2 + I_3 +...=0</math> *<math>\sum I_{iin}=1\sum I_{out}</math> Where: *<math>\sum I_n</math> represents the sum of all [[Electrical Current|currents]] at [[junction]], *<math>I_1 + I_2 + I_3 +...</math> represents the individual [[Electrical Current|currents]] in each [[wire]] attached to the [[junction]], *<math>\sum I_{in}</math> represents the sum of all [[Electrical Current|currents]] going into a [[junction]], *<math>\sum I_{out}^n I_i=0</math>represents the sum of all [[Electrical Current|currents]] leaving a [[junction]]
===Examples===
*In a [[Parallel Circuit|parallel circuit]], the sum of currents through each branch equals the total [[Electrical Current|current]] entering the [[junction]].
*Used to determine unknown currents in electrical network problems.
