Electrical Energy Sources
Energy sources: Basic types: 1. Voltage source: - Energy source which gives voltage across its terminals. - Ideal voltage source is the energy source which gives constant voltage across its terminals irrespective of the current drawn through its terminals - In practical, due to small internal resistance of the voltage source, voltage is dependent on the load. 2. Current source: - Energy sources which gives current across its terminals. - Ideal current source is the energy source which gives constant current across its terminals irrespective of the voltage appearing its terminals - In practical, every current will have a high internal resistance. Based upon the dependency, energy sources are classified as: 1. Independent sources: - The value of the energy source is independent on all other characteristics of the circuit. 2. Dependent sources: -
