Every real voltage source is built from which two parts?

AA source of electrical energy and an internal resistance
BA source of electrical energy and a storage capacitor
CA chemical cell and a series load resistance
DA charge separator and an external resistance
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A source of electrical energy and an internal resistance
1. Any voltage source needs something that separates charge and so sets up a potential difference. 2. The materials that do the separating themselves resist current, giving an unavoidable internal resistance. 3. These two parts, the energy source and the internal resistance, sit in series inside the device. 4. A load resistance is external and can be swapped at will, so it is not part of a voltage source at all. _Source: OpenStax College Physics (CC BY 4.0), Ch 21 "Circuits and DC Instruments", section 21.2 Electromotive Force: Terminal Voltage_
