Voltage and Current Sources

Real voltage sources can be represented as ideal voltage sources in series with a resistance r, the ideal voltage source having zero resistance. Real current sources can be represented as ideal current sources in parallel with a resistance r, the ideal current source having infinite resistance.


Such ideal voltage and current sources are used in modeling real circuits with Thevenin's theorem and Norton's theorem.
