Why is the total current at a junction of a circuit always zero?
The rule is based on observation, in the absence of experimental evidence to question it, it must be accepted.
Charge building up in one part of the circuit is counterbalanced by charge of the opposite polarity collecting elsewhere.
Opposing currents cancel each other out, so the result is always zero.
In a circuit, charge cannot be created or destroyed.

What is the fundamental rule for potential difference in any circuit?
Positive emf results in a clockwise current and vice versa.
The potential difference across the battery terminals must be positive.
The potential difference around a closed path in any circuit must sum to zero.
The electromotive force in any circuit must be greater than the loss of potential difference in the rest of the circuit in order for current to flow.

When Mr. Brown starts his car on a wintry morning, he always turns on the headlights before operating the starter motor. The headlights always go dim as the starter motor turns the engine but then go back to full brightness when the engine starts. Why does this dimming happen? (the battery, lights and starter motor are in parallel)
Switching on the starter motor adds resistance to the circuit, so the current through the lights drops.
The increased current drain on the battery due to the starter motor causes a potential drop inside the battery due to its internal resistance.
The battery is faulty. There should be no effect whatsoever as the battery can deliver unlimited current until it goes flat.
Current from the battery is diverted from the lights to the starter motor.
