You can come up with a lot simpler example that at first might look like a
paradox. Consider two DC current sources of 1 amp each. Each current
source will deliver 50 W to a 50 Ohm resistor. Now connect the two current
sources in parallel, and the resultant 2 amps will deliver 200W to the
same 50 Ohm resistor. There is nothing wrong here.

Wouldn't you have to double the voltage to get the 1 amp from each source to
flow ?


Hi Ralph,

That is one of the usual properties of a current source.
