Build a constant current circuit

But this circuit is depended on Rset resistance and it will not act a "true constant current source". Because when you call it as "Constant Current Source" it should provide a constant current independent from load resistance.
This is better approximation form Linear.

Does it provide constant current irrespective of load
say suppose
My RSET Voltage will be 0.25
Ref Voltage 0.25
Load varied from 1 ohm to 100 ohm..
does it takes the constant current over entire range of resistor

Yep, if the current is sinked from collector, you're right.It will be current sinker ..And it will be very dependable BetaForward of the transistor and resistor temperature coefficient and tolerance.
It's not a good approximation.
