Problem

At a junction P of a circuit, currents I1I_1 and I2I_2 are taken as flowing into the node while current I3I_3 is taken as flowing out of the node. According to Kirchhoff’s current law, which of the following equations is correct? (a) I1+I2+I3=0I_1+I_2+I_3=0 (b) I3=I1−I2I_3=I_1-I_2 (c) I1+I2−I3=0I_1+I_2-I_3=0 (d) I1=I2+I3I_1=I_2+I_3
