While applying Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) at junctions, the total current leaving is equal to the total current entering. For Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) in loops, the total of the voltage gains and drops around any closed loop is zero. To avoid mistakes, students must assign a direction to currents which can be positive for gains and negative for drops, and be consistent with the signs while solving the equations.
