Wiring A Led Circuit

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.

Wiring a led circuit. Thanks for watching and comment rate and. 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. Series parallel circuits explained.

So i wasn t completely honest i have used leds once or twice before for simple applications. Powering a series circuit. Use the alligator clips to make connections in the circuit as shown. Where a series circuit receives the same current to each led a parallel circuit receives the.

This seems to be the circuit that most people will use when wiring up leds. Note that the orientation of the resistor doesn t matter but the orientation of the led does matter. In this video i teach you how to wire multiple leds into a parallel circuit. 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.

Leds come in different sizes brightnesses voltages colors and beam patterns but the selection at.
