Hello! I'm using LTspice and I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to do the dependent source as it isn't dependent on a component. The circuit reference and my attempt (which turned out wrong) are attached below:




Thanks in advance

 

Didn't you learn how to do that in your previous thread?

But it don't think the above circuit can work, since the current source is multiplying its own current which would lead to infinite current..

It's actually not the same concept, I've tried adding Bv with V=5*(I{R2}) and it also turned out to be incorrect so I'm not sure where the mistake is happening.

 

Surely thediamond is a current controlled voltage where V= 5i. The current has to flowthrough the control path, which it cant do there as the two connections to the current control are shorted. Break the link between the twocurrent control inputs.

 

so I'm not sure where the mistake is happening.

Read my second comment.

It worked! Thank you so much. I've never used the h component before.

 

Nor I ! The important thing of note is that it doesn't have a control wire but uses a current value from a controlling 'source'. That 'source' must be an actual source i.e. a voltage generator (I'm guessing it could be a current source too). So if you didn't have a voltage source (in this case V2) you have to put a zero volt 'source' in series with the component you want the current derived from. Confusing huh?!

 

Alternately, you can use R2 for the current source.
Connect the control terminals for the voltage-controlled voltage source in your first schematic across R2.
Then calculate the proper gain for the voltage source, based upon the resistance of R2, to give you 5i2 for the overall gain.

That's a neat bit of lateral thinking...

 

Notice that the controlled voltage source's control law says that the voltage developed by the controlled source is proportional to the current through itself. What other two terminal component has the property that the voltage across it is proportional to the current through it? A resistor!

The controlled voltage source can be replaced by a 5 ohm resistor and the circuit behavior will be unchanged.

No.
The voltage source generates voltage and power.
A resistor doesn't do that.

 

No.

Yes

The voltage source generates voltage and power.
A resistor doesn't do that.

A voltage source can generate or absorb power depending on the direction of current flow through it.

You are right, of course.
I wasn't paying attention to the polarity direction of the CCVS.

In this specific case, yes it can. But if the controlling current source was in a different branch then not.
