It isn't.
The internal impedance of a current source is high. In an ideal one it would be infinite.
A voltage source, however, has a low internal impedance, ideally zero ohms.

What does a super conducter do?
It has no (zero) resistance - thus current flows without losses.
Why do you replace voltage sources with short circuits and current sources with open circuits in thevenin's theorem?
The equivalent of an inactive Thevenin voltage source is a source with zero voltage between its terminals regardless of the current through it, best represented by a zero resistance, i.e. a short-circuit. The equivalent of an inactive Norton current source is a source through which no current can flow regardless of the voltage across it, best represented by an infinite resistance, i.e. an open circuit.
Why internal resistance of an ideal voltage source is zero and an ideal current source is infinty?
Current source means current generator for a circuit. An ideal current source gives all current to the circuit, but practically a current source does n't give all current to the circuit, instead, a source resistor is connected in parallel to the current source to indicate the current drop.
How do you find the current if you have the resistance but not the voltage?
The current will be zero if there is no voltage.
What is the value of internal impedance of ideal current source?
internal resistance is always infinite in ideal current source .the internal resistance is in shunt with current source
What resistance would produce a current of 25 ampers?
resistance does not produce currents . you need source (like voltage source , current source ,or , discharging capacitor) to generate current .
Why short circuit and open circuit are equivalent appropriate?
In circuit equivalence, voltage and current sources are respectively equated to short and open ckt because of the very nature of them. A voltage source has zero internal resistance and current source has infinite internal resistance hence their equivalents:-)
When measuring a large current flow should you use a shunt with zero resistance?
It is not a shunt with zero resistance. It is very small, but it is not zero. The large current develops a small voltage across the small resistance. Measuring that small voltage gives you a proportional measurement of the current.
What is the relationship between the size of your source and an electric current?
If the source you're talking about is an ideal voltage source, then the amount of current depends on the size of the source and the total resistance of the circuit connected to it. Ohm's Law tells us that the current, I, is directly proportional to the voltage, V, and inversely proportional to the resistance, R: I = V/R So, increasing the voltage increases the current, whereas decreasing the resistance does the same. There are practical limitations to that, however. In the real world, reducing the resistance to zero does not produce infinite current, as suggested by the formula. Infinite current is produced only by "ideal" voltage sources, which don't exist.
Which device has its characteristics very close to that of an ideal current source?
A: A current source can be defined as a zero impedance source. A battery is essentially a zero impedance since it can provide lots of current with zero volts out
What happens to current in a circuit if the voltage is halved and the resistance stays the same?
the current doubles.. explanation:V=IR hence I=V/R which means that when the supply voltage is constant ,current is inversely proportional to resistance.thus the current doubles. practically speaking when the resistance of the load(fan ,bulb,refrigerator,....) is less ,it draws more current from the source so as to balance the voltage across it.i.e; to maintain the voltage across it as constant. This answer is absolutely correct if you assume that the current comes from a pure voltage source ( voltage source with zero internal resistance). At the other extreme you could have a current source (such as a very large voltage source in series with a very large resistor), and then the current is practically independent of changes if the external resistance is changed (because the change represents a relatively minute change in the overall resistance). With appropriate circuitry it is possible to devise a situation where the current is practically independent of the changing resistance.
What would happen to circuit if there was no resistance?
a circuit with no resistance or zero resistance can be considered as open circuit in which the current is zero. without resistance the circuit just becomes open ()
