Independent versus Dependent Voltage and Current Sources | Basic Circuits | Electronics Tutorials

Power sources may seem simple but the difference between independent versus dependent voltage and current sources is critical to understanding how a circuit will work. While independent voltage sources like batteries and most power supplies are very common, current sources for LED driving and in microelectronics are also quite prevalent. Dependent voltage and current sources are less common but depending on your career, may be an integral part of your circuit analysis. No matter what, this video will describe these difference power sources and make sure that you’re prepared for whatever is thrown at you!
