Wiring A Led Circuit

Leds for beginners step 1.

Wiring a led circuit. Note that the orientation of the resistor doesn t matter but the orientation of the led does matter. Leds come in different sizes brightnesses voltages colors and beam patterns but the selection at. Use the alligator clips to make connections in the circuit as shown. The loop concept is no problem by now and you definitely could figure how how to wire it.

You connect the longer lead of the led to the resistor and the shorter lead of the led to the negative side black wire of your battery pack. When you wire in series you add the forward voltages of each led in the circuit but the current fed to each led remains the same. Powering a series circuit. Series parallel circuits explained.

To make the power. Components required 12v power supply 5mm white led 330ω 1 2w resistor connecting wires breadboard. If you have 3 led cobs each with a forward voltage of 36v at a given current when you wire them in series the total voltage drop of the circuit becomes 108 volts. Thanks for watching and comment rate and.

This seems to be the circuit that most people will use when wiring up leds.
