The High current source otherwise known as the supply, can handle any low current device or low current load as long as the voltages are the same. The higher the Supply current or as you call the source the better for any device/load

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.


Can you connect an AC source in series to DC source - then what happens to the current under a steady state condition?

With an AC and a DC voltage source in series, the DC voltage can be added to the RMS value of the AC voltage to give the effective voltage.


What is the meaning of sink source in PLC?

Sink - A wiring arrangement in which the I/O device provides current to the I/O module Source - A wiring arrangement in which the I/O module provides current to the I/O device


What is a device or current that provides power to the rest of the circuit or system?

The Source.


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 is an electric circuit with little or no resistance?

A: As current approaches infinity on a device it is known as a current source.


Why is the current source connected in series only?

Current sources should not be connected in series. It's okay to connect them in parallel.


Can 5V 2A works with a device requiring 5V 2.5A?

No... the source does not have the required capacity. The device (sink) would ask for more current which the source will not be able to provide. Do not use this source-sink pair.


What happens if a dependent current source is short circuited?

Nothing happens.


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.


Can you use adapter with output 5v 3amp to operate adevice with 5v 1amp?

Absolutely. The first rule: Source voltage should be equal to the device voltage. The second rule: Source current sould be higher than the cumulative of the device's current.


What do you understand by the term source and sink input?

The terms "source" and "sink" could be used for inputs but are more commonly used for output terminals. If a device has a "source" output, it supplies current to an external device by connecting it to some power source. If the device is a "sink" it supplies current to some other device by draining it away to ground (often -ve). This is where the names "source" and "drain" came from in the naming of Field Effect Transistor terminals. Many devices have both "sink" and "source" capabilities such as most operational amplifiers. Most of the time the "sink" and "source" capabilities of such a device are different because N material conducts better then P material.
