Question

A current source connected in parallel with a resistor can be converted to a?

(a) Current source in series with a resistor

(b) Voltage source in series with a resistor

(c) Voltage source in parallel with a resistor

(d) Cannot be modified

I had been asked this question in a job interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Source  Transformations in section Network Theorems of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) Voltage source in series with a resistor

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