Given Information:
Current of Ideal source = Is = 100 mA = 0.100 A
Open circuit voltage = Voc = 6 V
Short circuit current = Isc = 200 mA = 0.200 A
Required Information:
Power absorbed by idea current source = ?
Answer:
Power absorbed by idea current source = 0.3 Watts
Explanation:
Ideal Current Source:
An ideal current source doesn't have internal resistance and provides constant current regardless of the voltage supplied to the circuit.
The power absorbed by the ideal source can be found using
P = Is²R
Where Is is the ideal source current and R can be found using
R = Voc/Isc
Where Voc is the open circuit voltage and Isc is the short circuit current.
R = 6/0.200
R = 30 Ω
Therefore, the power absorbed by the ideal current source is
P = Is²R
P = (0.100)²*30
P = 0.3 Watts
