Why must an LED always have a resistor connected in series with it?
An LED usually has a resistor connected in series with it because an LED (light emitting diode) is not linear in current to voltage (like a resistor) and has to be operated within specified current and voltage conditions. In most circuits the supply voltage is higher than the forward voltage of the LED so the LED would burn up from too much current without a current limiting resistor in series. The resistor sets the voltage and current to a good operating point (voltage and current) for the LED by dropping some voltage across it. The operating point varies depending on the size, type and manufacturer of an LED so the LED's data is used to select the right resistor size for a given voltage source.
When a light bulb is rated for 3.2 V does that mean that is the maximum operating voltage OR the minimum operating voltage OR or the optimum operating voltage?
When a light bulb is rated for 3.2 V it means that it is the maximum operating voltage to be applied to the bulb.

What is LED Forward Voltage?
The forward voltage of an LED is the voltage that must be applied across the leads of an LED, anode to cathode, in order for the LED to function and turn on.
Why does a Led have a 470 resistor connected to the LED?
A: That resistor is there to limit the current to the LED it can be any value if the voltage is decreased or increased or no resistor if the voltage across the led is equal to the forward voltage drop.

What is the voltage of a TV picture tube?
We're talking about high voltage when we talk about the operating voltage of a cathode ray tube (CRT). The operating voltage can vary, as you can imagine. Tens of thousands of volts are not uncommon.
Can T8 LED tube light be used with ballast and can ballast be removed and will it work?
A T8 LED tube has to be used with a ballast to bring the correct voltage to the tube for it to operate correctly. Removing the ballast from the circuit will prevent the tube from operating.
What is the value of the voltage the led light needs?
There's no set voltage that'll run ALL led's, it'd depend on the particular led.
The voltage drop across led is?
The voltage drop across an LED varies, but is typically around 2 volts.
What happens to an LED When the voltage is to high?
when a LED is subjected to a high voltage it will heat up and burn the internal junction, which will leave the LED open circuit.
What is operating points?
the voltage at which voltage collector emmiter & collector current becomes zero
