Nonetheless, it is often the case that such a circuit will provide adequate performance when the specified current and load resistance are small. For example, a 5 V voltage source in series with a 4.7 kΩ resistor will provide an approximately constant current of 1 mA ± 5% to a load resistance in the range of 50 to 450 Ω.
A generator in electrical circuit theory is one of two ideal elements: an ideal voltage source, or an ideal current source. [1] These are two of the fundamental elements in circuit theory. Real electrical generators are most commonly modelled as a non-ideal source consisting of a combination of an ideal source and a resistor.
In electronics, a constant current system is one that varies the voltage across a load to maintain a constant electric current.When a component is indicated to be driven by a constant current, the driver circuit is, in essence, a current regulator and must appear to the component as a current source of suitable reliability.
Kirchhoff's circuit laws were originally obtained from experimental results. However, the current law can be viewed as an extension of the conservation of charge, since charge is the product of current and the time the current has been flowing. If the net charge in a region is constant, the current law will hold on the boundaries of the region.
Current mode logic (CML), or source-coupled logic (SCL), is a digital design style used both for logic gates and for board-level digital signaling of digital data. The basic principle of CML is that current from a constant current generator is steered between two alternate paths depending on whether a logic zero or logic one is being represented.
Current in the reference transistor Q 1 is held constant, thereby fixing the compliance voltage. Plots assume I C1 = 10 mA, V A = 50 V, V CC = 5 V, I S = 10 fA, β 1, = 100 independently of current. The current dependence of the resistances r π and r O is discussed in the article hybrid-pi model. The current dependence of the resistor values is:
The mechanical analogue in the impedance analogy of the constant voltage generator is the constant force generator. The mechanical analogue of the constant current generator is the constant velocity generator. [17] An example of a constant force generator is the constant-force spring. This is analogous to a real voltage source, such as a ...
[1] At the low field, the permeable iron in the magnetic circuit of the generator is not saturated , therefore the reluctance almost entirely depends on the fixed contribution of the air gap , so the part of the curve that starts at the point of origin is a linear "air-gap line" (output voltage is proportional to the excitation current).
