La première loi de Kirchhoff, appelée «loi des nœuds», s'énonce : la somme algébrique des courants arrivant à un nœud du circuit est nulle [...] La même loi peut être énoncée d'une façon différente : la somme des courants arrivant à un nœud quelconque du circuit est égale à la somme des courants qui en repartent.

OBS

On appelle «nœud» ou «sommet» tout point d'un circuit où aboutissent plus de deux conducteurs.

[...] la ley de los nudos enuncia que en cualquier unión en un circuito a través del cual fluye una corriente constante, la suma de las intensidades que llegan a un nudo es igual a la suma de las intensidades que salen del mismo.

OBS

Si se considera el nudo de una red del cual parten y al cual llegan circuitos derivados, la diferencia de las corrientes que llegan al nudo y de las que de él parten es nula (no puede haber acumulación de corriente en el nudo).

Task analysis, which aims to determine an efficient sequence for teaching skills, often works in reverse. We begin with the terminal skills and break them down into component skills. We then break those skills down further, and so on, until we reach a collection of skills that the student has already acquired or can perform simply by being asked. These skills are often called the entering skills, or behaviors, for the lesson.
