Best Answer

A: regular LEDS have along lead and a short lead the longer is usually positive. This lead must go to a positive potential. the shorter lead is less negative which must connect to next led positive and so on as a string.

Which resistor is connect 1.5 volt led to series 220v ac?

Typically, a 100 ohm resistor is used to connect a 1.5 volt led to a series 220v ac adapter. Many LEDs can be connected into a string using the resistors.


When to connect LEDs in parallel?

Basically, when LEDs are connected in parallel, the LEDs with the lowest resistance will be the brightest, the other LEDs will be dimly lit or not lit at all. Therefore, use LEDs with the same model number and colour.

How many resistors are needed 2 light up 5 leds?

Resistors don't light up LEDs. They're required in a circuit along with LEDs in order to prevent excessive current through the LEDs when the LEDs are forward biased. The correct resistance value depends on the supply voltage and the desired (rated) current through the LEDs, and there's typically one resistor in series with each LED.

When is it usually desirable to connect cells in series?

In electronics circuits current is common in series circuits and voltage is common across parallel circuits. LEDs in series draw less current, but require more voltage. Total power remains the same until multiple drivers are introduced in a parallel configuration.


Can a nokia bl-5j 3.7 volt battery be used to power LED's safetly and how?

A: It sure can but what is voltage iof the LEDS 3.2 V then you need to drop 3.7 to 3.2 v at ~20ma .5v / 0,02=27 ohms in series the LEDS are 1.8 you need 3.7- 1.8/.02= 100 ohms in series. The warning is the life of this setup is going to be short lived after the battery drain off the battery needs recharging if so it is better to supply the LEDS from the charger directly will last until the LEDS QUIT FUNCTIONING

What ballasts are used for LEDs?

We don't use ballasts for LEDs. Ballasts are used with fluorescent lighting fixtures to both step up voltage to fire the tube and to provide an in-circuit load when the tube fires and conducts. LEDs have a series resistor either integral to the LED or separate to it which limits current in the LED when it is turned on.
