Description
The Controlled Current Source generates a variable current between its two
electrical terminals. The direction of a positive current through the component is
marked with an arrow. The momentary current is determined by the continuous
signal fed into the input of the component.
Note A current source must not be
open-circuited or connected in series to an inductor or any other current
source.
