Homework Statement
The current source and voltage source in the circuit shown in the Figure below are connected in parallel so that they both have the same voltage, vs. The current source and voltage source are also connected in series so that they both have the same current, is. Suppose that vs = 15 V and is = 2.75 A. Calculate the power supplied (a) by the current source and (b) by the voltage source.
Homework Equations
P=IV
(possibly) V=IR
The Attempt at a Solution
This seems pretty simple but I'm not very confident in my skills (first time doing a circuits class) I did P=IV for the current source and got 41.25W (which is correct). But for the voltage source, I got 41.25W. I want some clarification on this. I used P=IV but since the current exits the negative terminal, it's supplying power so it's positive.
