More complex circuits can have multiple branches in parallel, but the junction rule is still obeyed. Take for example this branching point—called a junction or node, which gives the rule its name—from a circuit. An illustration shows the currents along the three wires of a junction point. Current I1 flows upward, into the junction. Current I2 flows upward and to the left, out of the junction. Current I3 flows upward and to the right, out of the junction. If current I1 = 4.30 Ais flowing into the junction, and I2 = 2.30 A of current flows out of one of the branches, how much current I3(in A) flows out of the other branch?
