SOLUTION

• Dependent source consists of two parts: the controlling part and the controlled part.
• The controlling part is either an open circuit or a short circuit.
• The controlled part is either a voltage source or a current source.
• There are four types of dependent sources that correspond to the four ways of choosing a controlling part and a controlled part.
• These four dependent sources are called the voltage-controlled voltage source (VCVS), a current-controlled voltage source (CCVS), voltage-controlled current source (VCCS), and current-controlled current source (CCCS).
