Question: Using Kirchhoff\'s Current Law, if three currents enter a junction as 3A, 2A, and I, what is the value of I if the total current leaving the junction is 5A?

Options:

  1. 4A
  2. 5A
  3. 2A
  4. 3A

Correct Answer: 4A

Solution:

According to KCL, I = Total entering - Total leaving = (3A + 2A) - 5A = 0A.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Using Kirchhoff's Current Law, if three currents enter a junction as 3A, 2A, and I, what is the value of I if the total current leaving the junction is 5A?
  • Step 1: Identify the currents entering the junction. They are 3A, 2A, and I.
  • Step 2: Add the known currents entering the junction: 3A + 2A = 5A.
  • Step 3: According to Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL), the total current entering a junction must equal the total current leaving the junction.
  • Step 4: The total current leaving the junction is given as 5A.
  • Step 5: Set up the equation: Total entering (5A) = Total leaving (5A).
  • Step 6: Since the total entering is already 5A, we can conclude that I must be 0A to satisfy KCL.
  • Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) – KCL states that the total current entering a junction must equal the total current leaving the junction.
