#Icircuit dependent voltage source how to#

A small-signal AC test current I x is applied to the input or output node, all external sources are set to zero, and the corresponding alternating voltage V x across the test current source determines the impedance seen at that node as R = V x / I x. So in general for a source of 5 volts the current can be -infinity to +infinity (in theory) it depends on the rest of the circuit as to what elements are drawing current and how much. An Independent source can be a voltage source or a current source. For any particular circuit, a small-signal analysis often is used to find the impedance actually achieved. Independent source refers to the source which can deliver energy and the output does not depend on any other elements in the circuit, i.e the magnitude of the output voltage or current will not change with any variations by elements connected in the network. An inductor with current has stored energy, W (1/2)Li 2.

'Inductor assumed to have no energy stored' cant mean anything except that at some initial time there is no current flowing in the inductor. This is because, the output is controlled by circuit current or voltage. In practice the ideal impedances are only approximated. The voltage of the voltage source is a function of time its time dependent. Dependent Voltage Source is also known as controlled voltage source. To determine VTh for a network, we simply find the open-circuit voltage Voc across. In idealized form they are represented by each of the four types of dependent source used in linear analysis, as shown in the figure, namely:Įach type of amplifier in its ideal form has an ideal input and output resistance that is the same as that of the corresponding dependent source: Amplifier type (current/voltage sources), dependent sources (linear), and resistors. I used KVL giving me loop 1 and an equation 5I1 + 10I1 +2Ix. What i did was to make the independent current source open, then I was left with the circuit with the 2 resistors and the dependent voltage source. my professor said we could use Thevenin's Theory to get Ix.

Either can be used as input, and either as output leading to four types of amplifiers. I am not really sure on how to tackle this problem. Electronic amplifiers use two variables: current and voltage. Current-dependent voltage sources are used to communicate information between the electrical and mechanical equivalent circuits.
