A voltage source is a two terminal device which can maintain a fixed voltage.〔(An introduction to electronics )〕 An ideal voltage source can maintain the fixed voltage independent of the load resistance or the output current. However, a real-world voltage source cannot supply unlimited current. A voltage source is the dual of a current source. Real-world sources of electrical energy, such as batteries, generators, and power systems, can be modeled for analysis purposes as a combination of an ideal voltage source and additional combinations of impedance elements. == Ideal voltage sources == An ideal voltage source is a two-terminal device that maintains a fixed voltage drop across its terminals. It is often used as a mathematical abstraction that simplifies the analysis of real electric circuits. If the voltage across an ideal voltage source can be specified independently of any other variable in a circuit, it is called an independent voltage source. Conversely, if the voltage across an ideal voltage source is determined by some other voltage or current in a circuit, it is called a dependent or controlled voltage source. A mathematical model of an amplifier will include dependent voltage sources whose magnitude is governed by some fixed relation to an input signal, for example.〔K. C. A. Smith, R. E. Alley , ''Electrical circuits: an introduction'', Cambridge University Press, 1992 ISBN 0-521-37769-2, pp. 11-13 〕 In the analysis of faults on electrical power systems, the whole network of interconnected sources and transmission lines can be usefully replaced by an ideal (AC) voltage source and a single equivalent impedance. |- align="center" |style="padding: 1em 2em 0;"| File:Voltage Source.svg |style="padding: 1em 2em 0;"| File:Current Source.svg |- align="center" | Ideal Voltage Source | Ideal Current Source |- align="center" |style="padding: 1em 2em 0;"| File:Voltage Source (Controlled).svg |style="padding: 1em 2em 0;"| File:Current Source (Controlled).svg |- align="center" | Controlled Voltage Source | Controlled Current Source |- align="center" |style="padding: 1em 2em 0;"| File:Battery symbol.svg |style="padding: 1em 2em 0;"| File:Cell.svg |- align="center" | Battery of cells | Single cell The internal resistance of an ideal voltage source is zero; it is able to supply or absorb any amount of current. The current through an ideal voltage source is completely determined by the external circuit. When connected to an open circuit, there is zero current and thus zero power. When connected to a load resistance, the current through the source approaches infinity as the load resistance approaches zero (a short circuit). Thus, an ideal voltage source can supply unlimited power. No real voltage source is ideal; all have a non-zero effective internal resistance, and none can supply unlimited current. However, the internal resistance of a real voltage source is effectively modeled in linear circuit analysis by combining a non-zero resistance in series with an ideal voltage source (a Thévenin equivalent circuit). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Voltage source」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
