Review of Previous Concepts: Voltage Source and Current Source
A Voltage Source maintains the specified potential difference across its terminals.
A Current Source maintains the specified current in the branch it is connected to.
Review of Previous Concepts: Independent and Dependent Sources
In an Independent Current Source, the specified current does not depend on any
other voltage or current in the circuit.
An Ideal Voltage Source maintains the specified voltage irrespective of the current
drawn from it.
An Ideal Current Source maintains the specified current irrespective of the voltage
across it.
