The control parameters of the four types of dependent sources are real con-
stants respectively:
1) a [dimensionless]
2) k [Ω]
3) g [Ω

]
4) r [dimensionless]
There are different applications for dependent sources, which can provide a
convenient means of converting between voltage and current, or vice-versa, chang-
ing resistance or impedance, converting one resistance in one conduct ...
