Question

Once the circuit is transformed into a current source where will the resistance be connected?

(a) In series with the current source

(b) In parallel with the current source

(c) The resistance is removed from the circuit

(d) Resistance is multiplied by 10 and connected in parallel with the source

I got this question in a job interview.

My question is from Source  Transformations in chapter Network Theorems of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) In parallel with the current source

The best I can explain: When we perform source transformation on a circuit, we transform a voltage source connected in series with a resistor to a current source connected in parallel to it. This is due to the relation we get by Ohm’s law, that is V=IR.
