At a point in a network the sum of all the instantaneous currents from all paths at that point are zero. You can not replace instantaneous with RMS or average, and have that statement necessarily hold true. Also note that RMS is a type of average.
Not understanding this basic fact resulted in one very long thread.
In a different set of words the same concept exists for voltage. Here it is around a closed loop rather than a point.
