Best Answer

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 happens to the diode if it has high piv?

It can be connected in high reverse bias voltage .


Will a LED shine brighter if it is connected to a higher voltage?

A LED has a forward voltage drop dependent on it's composition. It is fairly constant within a small range of current flow. If the voltage is too high and the current is not limited, the LED will burn out. The brightness can be varied by varying the available current, but the voltage across the LED remains virtually the same.


What happens when led is connected in series with capacitor?

As the capacitor charges the led will dim until it's minimum operational voltage is reached and it goes out.


If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?

In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.

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.


How spark plugs produce high voltage?

Spark plugs don't produce high voltage they just make sparks with high voltage. The high voltage in a car is produced by running the low voltage of a car through a coil and condenser a distributor defines exactly when the spark happens to light up the fuel in the cylinder

What voltage does an led bulb need?

Minimum 2V. Some can run as high please check sheerled.co.uk/


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.


Give the operating voltage of LED?

A; a LED can have a voltage of 1.8v to 5 or higher voltage whites and red are usually in the low voltage while green and blue are int he range of higher voltage
