Voltage Source
An element of a circuit that serves to create a potential difference between two points in a circuit is called a voltage source. It is essentially an active circuit element that provides the circuit with the potential energy required to pass electrical current through it. A voltage source is a device that is connected to a two-terminal circuit and maintains a constant pressure to allow electrons (electric current) to move through the circuit. Cells, batteries, generators, and other devices that can generate voltage are common practical examples of voltage sources.
What is Voltage Source ?
In electronic and electrical circuits, we have a responsibility to provide the components required for the circuit’s operation. For this purpose, we utilized voltage and current energy sources. The dynamic circuit components are the energy sources since they can supply power or gain power in the circuit. We will discuss the different kinds of voltage sources and what they are in this article.
In this article, we will be going through What is Voltage Source, We will go through types of Voltage Sources that are Independent and Dependent Voltage Sources, Further Independent Sources are Categorized as Direct and Alternating Sources and on the basis of Internal Resistance they are Categorized in Ideal Voltage Source and Practical Voltage Source, Dependent Sources are Categorized as Voltage Controlled Voltage Sources (VCVS) and Current Controlled Voltage Source (CCVS), At last, we will conclude our Article with Some FAQs.
