Why you use current source?

Current source can be helpful in application where you want to measure very low resistence like a wire for example. The basic idea behind this is to fix the amount of current and then measure the voltage across the wire.

Why you use current source in data transmission?

A: The main advantage for a current source transmission is low source impedance. extraneous voltage influence is reduced by that characteristic.

Why do you always use voltage source in lab not current source?

Current is created by voltage (potential difference), not the other way round. It's the voltage - or 'push' - that is making your current move.

Can you use more than one source of voltage in a circuit?

Yes, you can use more than one source of voltage in a circuit. You can also use more than one source of current in a circuit. In fact, complex circuit analysis can utilize Norton and Thevanin equivalents to convert part of the circuit from current source to voltage source and vice versa, allowing you to eventually understand the complete circuit.


What ismean by current source?

A current source produces a constant current no matter the variation in voltage.


How can you use a jfet as a two terminal current source?

A JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistor) can be used as a two-terminal current source by operating it in the saturation region. By applying a fixed gate-source voltage (Vgs) that is less than the threshold voltage, the JFET allows a constant drain-source current (Id) to flow, which is relatively independent of the drain-source voltage (Vds) due to its high output resistance. This configuration effectively isolates the current source from any variations in the load, making it a reliable current source for various applications.


What is a current source?

A current source is a source that we can draw current from and can regulate to control the amount of current we draw. It is kind of a "mirror" of the voltage source. Here's how it might work. We usually are interested in keeping the current constant when we use a current source (though not always). To do this takes a varying voltage source to keep that current constant when using the source with a dynamic load (a load that is changing). There will have to be a way for the source to sense current flow and compare it to the setting put in. That way the source can maintain that constant current by adjusting to the correct voltage needed to maintain it. Many battery charging applications require this technology. We want "maximum" current so we can quickly charge the battery, but we cannot "overload" the battery, so we have to be careful not to do that. A constant current source is the answer. It will supply a steady "maximum" current, and the source will (as the battery charges and the "resistance to more charge" increases) increase in voltage to keep that amount of current flowing into the battery to charge it in the shortest time. A VERY GOOD EXPLANATION and I could add that a perfect current source would have 0 (zero) input/output impedance or you could say it's would be more like "a short that provides power".
