Is current source also a voltage source?


I'm confused between current and voltage sources; I get the text book definition but I am not able to understand real world difference. To me both current and voltage sources seem as the same. I understand that ideal sources doesn't exist. What is an example of practical current source? In order to produce current, we need voltage, so then isn't a current source also a voltage source? Since a battery is a voltage source and it produces current when connected to a circuit, isn't it also a current source?


Please help me understand real world example and usage of current source and how it is different from a voltage source.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
