An ideal voltage source is one which maintains a constant voltage at its terminals, irrespective of the current delivered to the network.
Practically a voltage sources has internal resistances and hence, when it delivers a current, there is always an internal voltage drop which increases as the supplies more and more current.
Thus its terminals voltage progressively falls.

An IDEAL CURRENT SOURCE is one which delivers a current of constant magnitude,
totally independent of the external network connected.
In practical, no current source can be ideal, practical current source is always shown with resistance in parallel.
