2 .       A practical voltage source has a nonzero internal resistance. [Hint]

 
 


3 .       An ideal current source has zero internal resistance. [Hint]

 
 


4 .       A practical current source has a finite internal resistance. [Hint]

 
 


5 .       Transistors act basically as voltage sources. [Hint]

 
 


6 .       You cannot convert a voltage source to an equivalent current source, or vice versa. [Hint]

 
 


7 .       Some circuits require more than one voltage or current source. [Hint]

 
 


8 .       The Thevenin equivalent voltage (VTH) is the short-circuit voltage between two terminals in a circuit. [Hint]

 
 


9 .       Norton's equivalent current (IN) is an open-circuit current between two points in a circuit. [Hint]

 
 


10 .       Conversions between delta-type and wye-type circuit arrangements are useful in certain specialized applications. [Hint]
