Question

In a VCIS which is the controlled source and which one is the dependent source?

(a) V-contorller, I-dependent

(b) V-dependent, I-controller

(c) Both V and I are controllers

(d) Both V and I are dependent

The question was asked by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

My doubt is from Analysis of a Circuit Containing Dependent Sources in chapter Circuit Variables and Elements of Electric Circuits

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) V-contorller, I-dependent

For explanation: VCIS: Voltage-controlled current source. ia=βva, current value depends on the voltage value so voltage source is the controller and current is the dependent source.
