Ideal voltage source : maintains a prescribed voltage across its terminals regardless of the current flowing in those terminals .




Ideal current source : maintains a prescribed current across its terminals regardless of the voltage across those terminals .

Independent source :
establishes a voltage or current in a circuit without relying on voltages or currents elsewhere in the circuit .




Dependent source :
establishes a voltage or current whose value depends on the value of a
voltage or current elsewhere in the circuit .

way crossing .




Terminology :




node :


point where two or more circuit elements join .




essential node
:




point where three or more circuit elements join .




path
:

a trace of adjoining basic elements with no elements included more than once .




branch path that connects two nodes
:

a .




· essential branch :
a path that connects two essential nodes without passing through an essential node .




loop : a path whose last node is the same as the starting node .




mesh a loop that does not enclose other
any loops
:
