2.7 Voltage and Current Sources

• In circuit analysis, the ideal source concept is fundamental

• The ideal voltage source’s terminal voltage is independent of the source’s current

• The ideal current source’s current is independent of the voltage across it

p(t)delivered = vs(t)i(t) (voltage source)

p(t)delivered = v(t)is(t) (current source)
