Voltage sources with an internal series resistance have an equivalent current source with internal parallel resistance. This video describes the equivalency between voltage sources and current sources and how you can represent a source in a circuit as one or the other without affecting the nature of the circuit
00:17 - Description of voltage and current sources
2:27 - voltage and current limitations with non-ideal sources
4:57 - Deriving Equivalency of voltage and current source
9:00 - Example showing voltage and current in circuit with voltage source and current source (spoiler: voltage and current are the same in the two circuits).
