Homework Statement



How could an op-amp with feedback be configured so that it would supply a constant current to some load, even if the resistance of the load changed?

Homework Equations



None. Just a general question.

The Attempt at a Solution



I don't really know how to approach this as I don't have a huge amount of knowledge of electronics.

If you want something held constant it usually needs to participate in the feedback path in some way...
