Best Answer

A: Add the proper resistor in series with the LED. What resistor? Simple 10volts source minus the LED source divided by the 20ma current that should be flowing gives you the resistor 10-1.8=8.2/.02=900 ohms. The 1.8 can be anything it is up to the LED voltage drop. LONG LEAD IS POSITIVE SHORT IS NEGATIVE SINCE IT IS A DIODE
