Ideal current source


An ideal current source is an active electrical element which delivers current to the circuit and it has infinite internal resistance across it. The current delivered from the ideal current source is always constant and it is independent of the voltage. The current delivered
from the ideal current source is equal to the current flowing through the load, as there is no internal path in the source.
