### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: State Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL)** Kirchhoff's Current Law states that the total current entering a junction (or node) in an electrical circuit is equal to the total current leaving that junction. Mathematically, this can be expressed as: \[ \sum I_{\text{in}} = \sum I_{\text{out}} \] In terms of sign conventions, currents entering the junction are considered positive, while currents leaving the junction are considered negative. Therefore, we can write: ...
