1. Kirchhoff's Current Rule (Junction Rule). At any junction in a circuit, the algebraic sum of the currents meeting there is zero:
i.e., the sum of currents entering a junction equals the sum leaving it -- a consequence of conservation of charge (no accumulation at a junction in steady state).
2. Kirchhoff's Voltage Rule (Loop Rule). Around any closed loop in a circuit, the algebraic sum of the potential drops ( products) and the emfs is zero:
