Problem

At a node P of a circuit, currents of 2.0 A and 1.2 A flow into the node through two branches, while 0.5 A flows out of the node through a third branch. Determine the magnitude and direction (into or out of the node) of the current in a fourth branch so that Kirchhoff’s current law is satisfied.
