Kirchhoff's Current Law

qImage66c0dac8cd394be062828533

According to Kirchhoff's Current Law, The total current entering a junction or a node is equal to the charge leaving the node. The algebraic sum of every current entering and leaving the node has to be zero.

Calculation

qImage6791ea97f214a380ec9c262e

\({V-5\over 2}+{V\over 8}+{V+3\over 4}=0\)

\({4V-20+V+2V+6\over 8}=0\)

V = 2

The current through 8Ω is given by:

\(I={2\over 8}=0.25\space A\)
