Voltage Source
In electric circuit theory, an ideal voltage source or constant voltage (CV) source is a circuit element where the voltage across it is independent of the current through it. A voltage source is the dual of a current source. In analysis, a voltage source supplies a constant DC or AC potential between its terminals for any current flow through it. Real-world sources of electrical energy, such as batteries, generators, or power systems, can be modeled for analysis purposes as a combination of an ideal voltage source and additional combinations of impedance elements.

Famous quotes containing the word source:
“In the order of literature, as in others, there is no act that is not the coronation of an infinite series of causes and the source of an infinite series of effects.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
