This question is dual to the question below that I asked a few hours ago:
https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can_we_apply_the_input_voltage_to_the_output_of_a_voltage_follower_instead_to_its_input_and_to_take_the_current_as_an_output_Is_it_correct
There, we began thinking what would happen when connecting the input voltage source in parallel to another voltage source (the output of a voltage follower) what was quite confusing for traditional thinking electrician and not so for electronics specialists. Here, we would like to know what happens if we connect the input current source in series to another current source (the dual situation). We would like to know it since we have the feeling that this is a powerful idea in electronics-:) Well, let's begin thinking...
It is obvious that we should apply the input current to the input of a current amplifier (e.g., a BJT) and to take the output current from its output. But we are curious enough to (try to) "blow" the input current into the output of the current amplifier (the BJT collector) and to take the collector voltage as an output. And we ask the same confusing questions:
Is this arrangement (two current sources connected in series) possible and correct from the basic electricity viewpoint? What would be the sense of this nonsensical connection? Can we use it somewhere in electronics? Can we see it in some existing circuit solutions? Can we see this idea in our life? Can we generalize it as a fundamental (particularly, circuit) principle?
BTW we have already managed to "blow" the input current into the collector of a BJT by applying a parallel-parallel negative feedback
https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can_we_reverse_a_BJT_by_injecting_the_input_current_into_the_collector_and_taking_the_base-emitter_voltage_as_an_output
but here we mustn't apply a negative feedback. Then?
As in the dual question, I have given a hint with the same attached picture. If this is not sufficient, look again at the link below:

I warn again: do not consider these speculations as an absolute truth; they show only my personal viewpoint at this phenomenon...
