Convert the current source and parallel resistor shown (I=5 A, R=8, ) into an equivalent voltage source in series with a resistor. Find the voltage of the equivalent source.

  1. 0.62 V
  2. 13 V
  3. 20 V
  4. 40 V

Answer

D. 40 V

Solution

A source transformation gives V=IR=(5 A)(8, )=40 V, with the same resistance 8, in series.
