Question

A voltage source connected in series with a resistor can be converted to a?

(a) Current source in series with a resistor

(b) Current source in parallel with a resistor

(c) Voltage source in parallel with a resistor

(d) Cannot be modified

This question was posed to me at a job interview.

I want to ask this question from Source  Transformations topic in division Network Theorems of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) Current source in parallel with a resistor

To elaborate: A voltage source connected in series can be converted to a current source connected in parallel using the relation obtained from Ohm’s law, that is V=IR. This equation shows that a voltage source connected in series has the same impact as a current source connected in parallel.
