Internal resistance of ideal current source is:

Correct answer: A. lnfinite

  • A. lnfinite
  • B. Very low
  • C. Zero
  • D. Very high

Explanation

Internal resistance of ideal current source is infinite as it has zero conductance. The internal resistance of an ideal voltage source, on the other hand is zero.

About Current Electricity

Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
