> [!summary] A junction is a point in a circuit where 3 or more wires/components meet >[!info]+ Read Time **⏱ 1 min** # Definiton A junction, sometimes called a node, is a point in a [[Circuits|circuit]] where 3 or more wires or components meet. This is where the [[Current|current]] splits or combines. When current meets a junction, it doesn't stop; it splits and then recombines at another node. > [!note]+ Junction Diagram ![[ki_1.png|350]] [^1] Example of a junction where current $I_{0}$ spilts into $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ --- > 📚 Like this note?
