If it's a thru-hole LED, the anode is the longer pin.

If it's a used part and part had its pins cut off, the larger electrode inside is the cathode.

How can you identify a cathode nigative to an LED?

LED has two pins,one is anode(positive) and the other is cathode(negative).The smaller pin is cathode(negative) and the longer pin is anode(positive).


What are the two ways to determine the negative leg in a led?

To determine the negative leg of a LED, you can look for the longer lead (anode), which is typically the positive leg, while the shorter lead (cathode) is the negative leg. Additionally, the flat edge on the LED's body usually indicates the cathode side, further confirming which leg is negative.


What types of anode?

the two types of anode is stationary anode and rotating anode


What is the difference between anode led and cathode led?

A: A LED is a diode and like all diode they have an [anode] meaning positive terminal and a [cathode] negative terminal. Therefore the proper potential must be applied for it to behave like an LED.


0n an LED what are the names of the positive and the negative leg?

Anode and cathode. Anode = negative lead, cathode = positive lead.


Forward current of led?

The forward current of an LED is current that goes from the anode of the LED to the cathode (the forward direction).


In what two ways can you tell the polarity of and LED light?

If you plug it it in, if it doesn't light it's the wrong way round. Although these other two are more 'conventional': -The negative wire is closest to a small flat 'spot' on the LED's base. -The longer leg is the positive wire


Which leg does current emit from in a LED?

Current flows from the anode (positive terminal) to the cathode (negative terminal) in a LED. The longer leg of the LED indicates the positive anode side, while the shorter leg represents the negative cathode side.


What happens if the long leg of LED is conected to a wire coming from the negative end of the dry cell?

The long leg of the LED is the Anode. Connecting the Anode to the negative end of the dry cell would bias the LED off. It would not illuminate. It may also destroy LED.


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.


What is the short and long legs of LED called?

Cathode (negative) is the shortest leg and there is a flat edge on the base of the LED, and it must be connected to the negative wire or "-" connection. Anode (positive) is the longest leg, and must be connected to the positive wire or "+" connection, as electricity will only pass through a LED from positive to negative.


What is the short leg on the LED?

The shorter leg on an LED is the cathode, which is usually indicated by a flat edge on the LED's plastic casing or a shorter leg compared to the anode.
