I1+I2=6mA how I don't understand

Answer

You're asking about the equation I1+I2=6 mAI_1 + I_2 = 6 \text{ mA}. This equation likely comes from applying Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) at a specific junction in the circuit.

Let's break down why this might be the case:

  • KCL at a Junction: Imagine a point in the circuit where three wires meet. KCL states that the total current flowing into that point must equal the total current flowing out of it.
  • Possible Scenario: If I1I_1 and I2I_2 are currents entering a junction, and 6 mA6 \text{ mA} is the total current leaving that same junction, then KCL would give you the equation I1+I2=6 mAI_1 + I_2 = 6 \text{ mA}.

Without seeing the circuit diagram, it's hard to be certain, but this is the most common reason for such an equation to appear.

Do you have the circuit diagram you can share? That would help me explain exactly where this equation comes from.
