| The above inconsistency in sign is, however, insignificant. Suppose that we had assumed (consistently with the equation for node A) that the direction of positive current for the node B equation is from Node A to B. Then, the corresponding term in the equation for node B would have been: $-\frac{V_A - V_B}{1}$ (note that a negative sign has been applied to this term to accommodate our assumption that __currents flowing into nodes are negative__). This is equal to $\frac{V_B - V_A}{1}$, which is exactly what our original result was. | The above inconsistency in sign is, however, insignificant.
