As a physics note, the first is equivalent to the physical
principle of conservation of charge (if it weren't true,
charge would have to be created or destroyed, or at least
build up (which would rule out steady-state behavior), at
the node).

The second is equivalent to conservation of energy, if you
just remember the basic definition of electric potential:
it is the potential energy per unit charge.
