When using batteries as your source in a physics/engineering problem, it''s considered as a voltage source. You''d say "a 9V battery". However, looking at the battery as an electrochemical cell, I''d guess that it''s a current source. They can perfectly be modeled as either voltage sources or current sources. The question you really want to ask

A cell can be drawn as a current source with a diode across it. The current source will push the voltage up to the diode conduction point, about 0.6v depending on the chemistry, and there it will stay unless something else loads the cell, ie the thing we are trying to power. Once the thing draw enough current the cell voltage will fall.

Then an ideal voltage source is known as an Independent Voltage Source as its voltage does not depend on either the value of the current flowing through the source or its direction but is determined solely by the value of the source alone.

An ideal voltage source will support any current through an external circuit. Physical voltage sources, like a cell or battery, have a maximum, short circuit current. Inside a physical battery, there is an internal electric current through the electrolyte. Usually, this current is due to the flow of ions rather than the flow of electrons.

On the other hand, when the output voltage of the voltage source depends upon the current in any other part of the circuit, then it is called as current dependent voltage source (CDVS) or current controlled voltage source (CCVS). Dependent voltage sources are represented by a diamond shaped symbol with polarity marks as shown in Figure-2.

Ideally, whether we deal with a DC or AC device, a voltage source should provide a stable and constant output value regardless of the output load, and therefore current that must be provided. Ideal voltage sources are defined by a flat voltage/current characteristic which implies that an infinite amount of power could be provided to a load.

Introduction to Source Voltage. Voltage has many sources, a few of which are shown in Figure (PageIndex{2}). All such devices create a potential difference and can supply current if connected to a circuit. A special type of potential difference is known as source voltage. (Note: Source voltage is called electromotive force (emf) in some text, but this usage is deprecated
Learn MoreVoltage sources and Current sources are both sources of Energy. Both have a positive / negative terminal, supply voltage and there is current coming out from both of them. But what is the difference? By nature we are more familiar with voltage sources. Example: batteries. There are various types, think for the 9V battery.
A voltage source is a type of electrical source that provides electrical energy while having constant voltage across its terminals irrespective of the amount of the current being delivered. It has two terminals whose potential difference is always constant no matter if there is a load connected or not.
As the chemistry shifts with discharge (or charge) the no load voltage changes slightly and the internal resistance changes as well. A battery is considered to be a voltage source because the galvanic activity they use to store and deliver energy has a fixed voltage across it. However, a battery is not an ideal voltage source.
If you change, the battery (which provides constant no matter what is) will give you a different current. A battery is a voltage source, not a current source. Some terminology: what you attach across a source is often referred to as a "load". Ideal sources are independent of load.
However, a battery is not an ideal voltage source. All real sources have some built in resistance. In the case of a battery, the effect is well modeled as an ideal voltage source in series with a small resistor (I don't know numbers, but I'd expect it to be single digit ohms).
The voltage source can be further classified into ideal and practical voltage sources. An ideal voltage source has two terminals whose voltage remains constant and does not depend on the amount of current flowing through it. It is also known as an independent voltage source as its voltage does not depend on the current being drawn from it.
