Key Concepts

Dependent Voltage Source

A dependent voltage source is an electrical source whose output voltage is not fixed but instead is controlled by another electrical quantity in the circuit, such as a voltage or current. Its behavior is described by a relationship that ties the output voltage to this controlling variable, often by multiplication with a predefined factor.

Voltage Gain

The voltage gain (represented as ? in this context) is the factor by which the controlling voltage is multiplied to produce the output voltage of the dependent source. It defines the linear relationship between the input control signal and the output voltage, serving as a key parameter in analyzing and designing circuits with such sources.

Terminal Voltage Measurement

Terminal voltage is the voltage measured across the output terminals of a circuit component. For a dependent voltage source, it reflects the product of the controlling signal and the gain factor, indicating the actual potential difference seen by any connected load.

A dependent voltage source shown in Figure 1.15 (a) has $\mu=25$. (a) What is the voltage between the terminals on the right, if $v_i=4.3 \mathrm{~V}$ ? (b) If $v_i=30 \mathrm{~V}$ ?
