A real question from the course. No sign-up needed.

From the chapter: Network Elements, Network Theorems, Transients and AC Power

The internal resistance of an ideal current source is:

Show the answer and why

Answer: A.

An ideal current source delivers its current into any load, which requires that none of it be diverted through an internal shunt — an infinite parallel resistance. The ideal voltage source is the dual, with zero series resistance.
