Explain Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and its significance.

Answer

Kirchhoff's Current Law states that the algebraic sum of all currents entering and leaving a node (junction) in a circuit equals zero, meaning current entering equals current leaving. This law is based on the principle of conservation of charge. KCL is essential for analyzing complex circuits with multiple branches and is used extensively in nodal analysis.
