Independent and dependent sources examples

[vagospat]

I would like to know if the following examples of independent and dependent sources are right and some further examples.

Independent sources: Batteries, DC generators, Alternators, Photovoltaics.

Dependent sources: Power electronic components (Diodes, Transistors, Thyristors), inverters, ups, cpu.

Nope, not even close. Is this for schoolwork?

I'll give you a hint on two.

Batteries: Although there are outside effects that can change the batteries output, I would say its an independent source

photovoltaics: If you're talking about the voltage output from photovoltavics... What causes them to output energy. It's almost like their output is DEPENDENT on sunlight.

alternator. If you're talking about the voltage output... They DEPEND on a motor to turn to produce a voltage
