Want this question answered?
the source current is the current that flows from the power source.
If you have a simple circuit. For eg: One voltage source and one resistor, then the voltage of the circuit will always remain the same, the current however will decrease following Ohms' Law V=I*R. If we have a current source instead of a voltage source, we are forcing the current to be a certain value so if we increase the resistor value the current will remain the same but the voltage will increase.
The maximum current that can be drawn from a voltage source is dependent on the impedance of that source, the impedance of the connections to the source, and the energy available from that source.
A: An ideal current source can be defined as a short with immense current capabilities A zener has no such capabilities
The question is vague.A current source is the short form of constant current source.A voltage source, on the other hand, is the short form of constant voltage source.That being so, then no, a current source is not available in any circuit.
In the smoke detector, the fast - moving alpha particles enable the air to conduct an electric current. As long as the electric current is flowing, the smoke detector is silent. The alarm is triggered when the flow of electric current is interrupted by smoke entering the detector.
The proportional counter is operating in linear mode, so the energy pulse measured by the detector is proportional to the energy of the radioactive particle. Thus, the average current flow in the detector is a function of both the activity (curies) and the energy (kEv) of the source. This detector is better at measuring the dose rate of the source. The Geiger-Muller detector, on the other hand, operates in avalanche mode, so the energy pulse measured by the detector is not proportional to the energy of the radioactive particle. Thus, the average current flow in the detector is a function of only the activity (curies) of the source. This detector is better at measuring the activity of the source, and can be more sensitive to lower energy particles, at the loss of discrimination of what those particles are.
Most people agree that current flows from the negative (cathode) terminal of the voltage source, through the load, and back to the positive (anode) terminal of the voltage source. This is because it is accepted that current is a flow of electrons. However, most analyses techniques use the convention that current flows from anode to cathode. It is simply a convention. So long as you are consistent in your usage of signs, you will be OK.
It is not recommended because one or other current source will be damaged by excessive voltage.

The sun.
A current source produces a constant current no matter the variation in voltage.
A weak source of Americium-241 is found in smoke detectors. The Alpha particles, which ionise the air, are emitted from here. This causes the air to conduct electricity and a small current flows.
A heat detector is a good addition to the smoke alarm. It will help to detect a heat source that is growing in case the smoke alarm in the home is not functioning.
Simple source of direct current are Batteries.
They are easy to install as they just need a power source and mounted.
