Independent Sources

Voltage Source (VS)

voltage-source.svg > invert

  • ideal: maintains constant Voltage regardless of load
  • real: can supply a finite Current
  • model: ideal source in series with a Resistor

Current Source (CS)

  • ideal: maintains constant Current regardless of load
  • real: can supply a finite Voltage, known as output voltage compliance
  • model: ideal source in parallel with Resistor
