State Kirchhoff’ rules of current distribution in an electrical network. 

Answer

Kirchoff's rule states that :

a) Junction rule : At any junction, the sum of currents entering the junction is equal to the sum of currents leaving the junction. 

b) Loop rule : The algebraic sum of changes in potential around any closed loop involving resistors and cells in the loop is zero.
