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.
The longer leg on a LED light is called the anode. It is usually the positive terminal and is marked with a longer leg or a "+" symbol.
The side of any diode that must be negative in order for the diode to conduct is the "cathode".
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.
The longest leg is the positive leg of any LED.
The spider with one long leg is called a tailless whip scorpion.
Cathode and an anodeThey are called the "anode" and the "cathode", just like every other diode ever built.
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.
The long narrow bone in the lower part of your leg is called the fibula.
On an LED, one leg will be shorter than the other. The shorter leg is the negative polarity.
the negative leg is shorter than the positive leg.
