Question

In an ICVS which is the controlled source and which one is the dependent source?

(a) V-controller, I-dependent

(b) V-dependent, I-controller

(c) Both V and I are controllers

(d) Both V and I are dependent

I have been asked this question in an international level competition.

Asked question is from Analysis of a Circuit Containing Dependent Sources topic in division Circuit Variables and Elements of Electric Circuits

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) V-dependent, I-controller

For explanation: ICVS :Current-controlled voltage source. va=βia , voltage value depends on the current value so current source is the controller and voltage is the dependent source.
