Ideal Nature
An ideal voltage source maintains a prescribed voltage regardless of the current in the device. Internal resistance Rs = 0 An ideal current source maintains a prescribed current regardless of the voltage across the device. Internal resistance Rs = An ideal or practical source is called as active element
