Final answer:

To convert a given voltage source to an equivalent current source, apply Ohm's Law by dividing the voltage by the resistance. The equivalent circuit includes a 100mA current source in parallel with a 1k Ohm resistor.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a voltage source to an equivalent current source, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. Given a voltage of 100V and a resistance of 1k Ohms, we can calculate the equivalent current by rearranging Ohm's Law to I = V/R. The resulting current I is 100mA (which matches the provided current), confirming the resistance value of 1k Ohms and completing the source transformation.

The equivalent current source circuit would then consist of a current source in parallel with the resistance. The current source provides a current of 100mA (with a phase angle of 0 degrees if considering AC conditions, which is not applicable here as no AC parameters were given). Therefore, we have an equivalent current source of 100mA in parallel with a 1k Ohm resistor.
