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

flow ?


Hi Ralph,

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

If you want to drive 1 amp into a 100K resistor, make sure the current
source can develop 100,000 Volts!


Hi All,

It is with some reflected amusement that I pause here to relate a
story. I was once tasked to calibrate an HP precision current source.
I had faithfully connected my standard shunt and voltmeter to do just
this, and the source performed exactly as specified (HP equipment that
wasn't broke, always did). I then disconnected the leads and was
immediately bit. The source performed exactly as specified!
