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

Why are led legs different in size?
Current will only flow one way through an LED, so it has a positive leg and a negative leg. One of them is longer to signify which is which (longer is negative). The negative side also has a chamfered edge on the LED itself.

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 positive leg of an LED?
The longest leg is the positive leg of any LED.
Why is the longer leg longer than the shorter leg if the shorter leg is longer than the longer leg?
Because if the shorter leg was shorter than the longer leg was long, then the longer leg wouldn't be longer than the shorter leg is short. The short leg would be the longer one rather than the long one being the short one.
How can you identify the different legs of a led?
The length of the legs. The positive leg is always longer than the negative one.
What is the left leg of the led called?
Cathode and an anodeThey are called the "anode" and the "cathode", just like every other diode ever built.
What is longer your arm or leg?
your leg
On a LED which leg is longer - positive or negative?
L.E.D has one leg longer then the other one, the longer one is positive and the smaller one is negative. If you have a l.e.d which has same length of legs then look inside the l.e.d for two kind of triangle peices and one of them will be smaller which is positive and one which is bigger and is negative.
What are the 2 ways to find out which is the positive leg and which is negative - led?
On an LED, one leg will be shorter than the other. The shorter leg is the negative polarity.
