An ideal voltage source is a theoretical concept used in electrical engineering and circuit analysis. It is a voltage source that maintains a constant voltage output regardless of the current flowing through it or the load connected to it. In other words, an ideal voltage source has zero internal resistance and can supply infinite current at a constant voltage.
In contrast, a practical voltage source is a real-world device that has internal resistance and cannot maintain a constant voltage output when a load is connected to it. The voltage output of a practical voltage source will decrease as the current flowing through it increases, due to the internal resistance of the source. As a result, the voltage across the load will be less than the voltage output of the source, and the difference is known as the voltage drop.
In practical applications, it is important to take into account the limitations of practical voltage sources and design circuits that can operate within these limitations. An understanding of the behavior of both ideal and practical voltage sources is essential for designing efficient and effective electrical circuits.

What is practical voltage source?
in case of ideal voltage source we consider the internal resistance to be zero.but in practical,every battery has some internal resistance then if you connect a load resistance across the terminals of that source,the net potential difference's across the voltage source will be a function of external resistance connects it won't give constant voltage across it's terminals.
Why you need to connect resistor in series for the practical voltage source?
A resistor is connected in series with a practical voltage source in order to determine the current produced by the source.
What is the difference between voltage forward voltage and voltage drop?
Voltage is the potential difference between the source & any point in the circuit. The forward voltage is the voltage drop across the diode if the voltage at the anode is more positive than the voltage at the cathode (if you connect + to the anode). Voltage drop means, amount of voltage by which voltage across load resistor is less then the source voltage.
What is a common source for a voltage difference?
Batteries provide a voltage difference.
Difference between voltage and emf?
'Voltage' is simply another term for 'potential difference', and an electromotive force is the open-circuit, or no-load, potential difference of a source such as a battery or generator.
What is the Difference between voltage controlled device and current controlled device?
The difference between a current control device and voltage controlled device is that for current controlled device, the current is constant and the voltage is variable while for a voltage controlled device, the voltage is constant and the current is variable.
What is a common source for a voltage?
Batteries provide a voltage difference.
Why peak voltage of the load is smaller than the voltage from the transformer output?
The voltage appearing across a load is always smaller than the no-load voltage of any voltage source -e.g. batteries, generators, or transformers. In simple terms this is because all these voltage sources have internal resistance or impedance which results in an internal voltage drop when the source delivers a load current. The resulting voltage, therefore, is always the difference between the no-load voltage and the internal voltage drop. A measure of the difference between a source's no-load and full-load voltage is termed its 'voltage regulation'.
What is internal resistant of a DC source?
An ideal voltage source has zero internal resistance so that the voltage stays constant with any load current. A practical voltage source should have less than 5% voltage drop at the rated load current.
What is mean by a potential difference?
Another name for potential difference is voltage.
What is difference between ideal current source and practical current source?
Internal resistance. The ideal current source has no internal resistance in parallel with it (if it was set to supply no current it would act as an open circuit), and all the current it supplied would have to flow through its load (even if the load was an open circuit, in which case the voltage across the current source would be infinite). A real current source has the practical limitation that it must have an internal resistance in parallel with it, therefor some of the current it supplied is bypassed through that internal resistance and never reaches the load (if the load was an open circuit, then all the current supplied is bypassed and the resulting voltage drop across the internal resistance limits the voltage across the current source).
What makes a dc bulb different from an ac bulb?
The voltage source that is applied to them is the difference between AC and DC light bulbs.
