O There are two types of elements: a. Passive elements -
cannot generate energy, i.e resistors, capacitors and inductor. b. Active elements - can generate energy, i.e batteries, generators, current or voltage sources.
O There are two kinds of sources: a. An active element that provides voltage or current that
independent of other circuit elements is called independent sources b. An active element that depends on voltage or current of other element is called dependent sources
VoltageandCurrentSources
independent sources dependent sources An ideal independent source is an active element that provides a specified voltage or current that is completely independent of other circuit variables.
Symbols for independent voltage source Symbols for independent current source
The voltage is determined by itself but the current through it is determined by the outside circuit
VoltageandCurrentSources
Note:
2 or more voltage sources with different value are not permissible to be connected in parallel 2 or more current sources with different value are not permissible to be connected in series Voltage sources connected in series is equivalent to one voltage source Current sources connected in parallel is equivalent to one current source A voltage source connected to any branch in parallel is equivalent to itself A current source connected to any branch in series is equivalent to itself

VoltageandCurrentSources
An ideal dependent (or controlled) source is an active element in which the source quantity is controlled by another voltage or current. Symbols for a) dependent voltage sources b) dependent current sources There are a total of four variations
1. A voltage controlled voltage source (VCVS) 2. A current controlled voltage source (CCVS) 3. A voltage controlled current source (VCCS) 4. A current controlled current source (CCCS)
