A voltage source and a current source both supply current on an electrical system. So why do we call a voltage source a voltage source? What is the difference between the two?

A two terminal device which maintains a ?xed voltage known as the voltage source. It has the same potential difference across its terminals. The ideal voltage source maintains a ?xed voltage, and zero internal resistance. However, there can’t be an ideal physical voltage source. It is not possible for any voltage source to be able to provide unlimited current, and a voltage is designed to provide sufficient amount of current which is required in the circuit. These voltage sources include power systems, generators, batteries etc.

On the other hand, in an electronic circuit is provided with current irrespective of the voltage across it, it is known as current source. The internal resistance of an ideal current source, as opposed to a voltage source, is in?nite. A current source is supposed to support any amount of potential di?erence across its terminals, and supply the same amount of current into the nodes it is connected to.

Develop a series RLC circuit that increases the capacitor voltage to the source voltage as fast as possible with no more than a 20% overshoot. The source voltage is 99V, the capacitance is 9F the and the inductance is 23 H. You can adjust the resistance since that the inductance are the two easiest parameters to adjust. I suggest you find ω0 for your circuit and the value of R that results in a critically damped circuit. Plot this vs....
