| May 17, 2023 at 12:26 | comment | added | Criticizing Israel not allowed | "Voltage source" should really be called a "fixed voltage" because in circuits like this the power is actually flowing into the so-called source. If it helps, you can imagine a battery getting recharged. | |
| May 17, 2023 at 12:24 | comment | added | Likely | @Finbarr, Right, I should've added more details. Basically, I did a simple analysis where I said current will only be coming from the current source and divided equally between left and right since we have no voltage difference between left and right. This leads to V_R1 = V_R2 = 10*1 V and because current comes from current source only, voltage at middle node should be higher than left or right nodes. Hence, 30 V!! | |
| May 17, 2023 at 12:21 | comment | added | Likely | @Finbarr, So would you say that this situation (having 30 V at middle node) would not be realistic if I had a non-ideal current source? | |
