The term Node in an electrical circuit generally refers to a connection or junction of two or more current carrying paths or elements such as cables and components. Also for current to flow either in or out of a node a closed circuit path must exist. We can use Kirchoff's current law.it is called Kirchoff's current law.

Hello Gowri

Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the algebraic sum of the voltages across any set of branches in a closed loop is zero. i.e.; Below is a single loop circuit.

Dear Gowri

Kirchhoff's circuit laws are two equalities that deal with the current and potential difference (commonly known as voltage) in the lumped element model of electrical circuits. They were first described in 1845 by German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff.
All the best for your bright future

Hai gowri sankar,
Kirchhoff's Laws for current and voltage are two principles that apply to DC circuits and networks. The total current flowing into any DC circuit node, also called a branch point, is always the same as the total current flowing out .

krichoff’s law deals with two equalities i.e., current and potential differece { voltage}
the potential drop across the resitors is equal to the current supplied from baterry

kirchhoffs law:
two laws concerning electric networks in which steady currents are flowing. The first law states that the algebraic sum of the currents in all the conductors that meet in a point is zero. The second law states that the algebraic sum of the products of current and resistance in each part of any closed path in a network is equal to the algebraic sum of the electromotive forces in the path.

kirchoffs current law this fundamental law results from the conservation of charge.it applies to a junction or node in a circuit.a point in the circuit where charge has several possible paths of travel.

Dear Gowri

I can simply say that the kichoffs current law is  the sum of all algebraic currents is equals to zero.example s are avalible if you posted agian.
