What do you mean by dependent and independent voltage sources?

In general, there are two main types of DC sources
1. Independent (Voltage and Current) Sources
2. Dependent (Voltage and Current) Sources

An independent source produces its own voltage and current through some chemical reaction and does not depend on any other voltage or current variable in the circuit.
The output of a dependent source, on the other hand, is subject to a certain parameter (voltage or current) change in a circuit element. Herein, the discussion shall be confined to independent sources only.
