@FastusMusic
@FastusMusic 7 років тому
question: so could I also place the resistor BEFORE the LED then, instead of after as you have here? seems if actual current is flowing from neg to pos, I'd want it to traverse the resistor first... or is the placement of the resistor unimportant because it affects the circuit as a whole?
@TealJosh
@TealJosh 5 років тому
Well, here's the thing. Voltage and current flow are about voltage differential. You have to imagine that there's someone pushing the electrons at the negative side, but there's also someone pulling them on the positive. No matter what side the resistor is on, the current will flow just the same through the led.

Thank you for this video! I have a pretty basic question here-- I see you followed your conventional current flow diagram when wiring up the 9v/LED/resistor. Why did you not wire it up according to neg to pos electron flow? If the electrons flow from the anode and hit the LED before the resistor, how is the resistor doing its job? It seems as if the resistor would serve no purpose after the high current flow already the LED. What am I not understanding correctly?

Think about the current flow in a circuit as a whole - where does the current go OUT of the led in that case? If you connect one leg of the LED to a high current source like a 12v car battery, but leave the other leg disconnected, what happens?
@richard1113
@richard1113 7 років тому
In your simple circuit with a 9V battery, LED, and resistor @5:58 I see the resistor on the anode side. I've seen this before and know it works but never understood why. Can you explain? If electrons flow from negative to positive I would think that this location is "too late" to save the LED. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to have the resistor on the cathode side?

@runeklok
@runeklok 5 років тому
In this case it does not matter which side the resistor is located in the circuit, so long as it is present. The omitted part of the video does not detail the fact that the entire circuit is in so called "series," meaning that every component is tied end to end with each other. In this format, the current is determined by the circuit voltage divided by the entire circuit's total resistance. The cool part of this setup is that the resistor and LED will both experience the same constant current in amps while having different voltages, since the individual component voltage is current times resistance. The only concern of resistor placement would be if the circuit was so called "series-parallel" where a drop in voltage could cause power problems in other branches of the circuit. Another concern on resistor placement would be purely for safety concerns if you wanted to limit a particular side of the circuit's current that might be exposed to human interaction, say a light switch.

@ryanli8926
@ryanli8926 5 років тому
In this case (since the circuit is in series), the current at any point is the same as the current at another point. What dictates current is the overall resistance. Resistors don't "use up" current in order to save the LED, but instead limits it overall.

One of the most important things about LEDs are that they are low power. You put the LED in series with a 300Ω resistor. This meant that the LED was getting only 33% of the power and 66% was wasted in the resistor. With the 140V you toasted the resistor with 2.74 W as it got 98% of the 2.8 W of power leaving the battery - only 2% was used in the LED. How do you actually use LEDs without wasting power into resistors? Even LED strips you buy on Amazon have resistors. How do we use energy-saving LEDs without wasting energy in resistors?

@mediaguardian

Why limit that question to resistors? Many discrete components have limits on how much current they can handle. So one simply uses the appropriate resistor. An LED is no different.
@ethanmye-rs
@ethanmye-rs 7 років тому
Basically, you have a chain of LEDs in series and a small sense resistor at the end, (0.1ohm or so). You know elements in series must have the same current going through them, as part of KCL. You also know that in a resistor, current is directly related to voltage, and more importantly, linearly. What you do is measure the corresponding voltage across a resistor to read the current through the LEDs, then use that as feedback in your buck/boost driver. It's more complicated that that, but that's the gist of it.
@superdau
@superdau 7 років тому
+Idjles Erle With LED strips you don't waste 66% in the resistor. Have you ever tried measuring the voltage drop in those resistors? It's typically 2 out of the 12V you run the strip at, so 16% loss in the resistor, which is actually a better efficiency than many of the cheap constant current drivers (for low currents). You can't use a constant current driver for a strip. Such a driver can only drive a single series connection of LEDs, parallel connected ones (exceptions if you know what you're doing), which for a long strip would mean dangerously high voltages.

you are connecting them in parallel to a voltage source so it is the same thing as connecting one. If you connect them to a current source then also its not a good idea as leds don't do current sharing very well. One will take a lot of current first and blow up, then next will do the same and soon you will have 100 burnt leds on your hand.

No, you don't need one, you need one hundred. Unless the LEDs are matched (i. e. have the exact same electrical properties, which is improbable unless you measured them all) and thermally coupled (all stay at the same temperature by mounting them on the same heatsink for example), you must never connect LEDs in parallel without a resistor for each parallel string.

Great video! I wanted to ask you for your advise on my project. So I have 20 red LED diodes with a 560omhs resistor on each one. The LED specs are 2.0 forward voltage and 20 forward current. I want to wire them in series to a 12v power source to my brake lights on my car. What's your opinion on this?

I have an electronics shop in my basement. I have a Tenma 40 MHz oscilloscope with two inputs. I also have a Tenma Universal Test Center with a multimeter, a power supply with a 5 volt, a 13,8 volt and variable 0 to 30 volt, a signal generator up to 2 Mhz and selection of sine wave, square wave and triangle wave, and a frequency counter. I use the variable voltage to calculate the resistance of an LED when it gets bright enough and the current flow. This gives me what I need to know to add a resistor for the LED in a 12 volt circuit. I also design circuits for my model railroad signal system.

Quick question... if I use 3 of these 3V LED lights in a series with a 9V battery, would a resistor be required at all?

Edge case, so hard to say. Potentially, fresh battery burns the LEDs out, half-drained battery lights the LEDs fine, aging battery doesn't light them at all. If it works at all, LED brightness will vary with temperature because this affects the forward voltage - not that you'd normally notice, but in an edge case like this, if could be significant. Basically, if the supply voltage is close to the LED voltage, it's very difficult to predict the current, because you don't know either voltage accurately enough. Which is why efficient LED drivers regulate the current rather than the voltage.

Hi, Thanks for the video, very informative. Do you know if there is a LED that works with 7uA at 1.1V? Thanks,

If I made that same circuit and had two of those LEDs in series (one after the other) do I add their voltages (3v +3v) - 9v = 3v and then divide that by double the LED's current 3v / 0.04 for a 75o resistor?

How were you able to get the recommended max current? Is it included in every device or there's a need to calculate it? Also, what happens if for example, the current is 40mA rather than 20mA?

Data sheet for the device. Manufacturers have datasheets on their websites, and online distributors like Farnell or Digi-Key will link the data sheet from the product page.

in my teem years i attended an college electronics course but had a lot of trouble following the lecturers teaching. how i wish we then had ut where i could have learnt a lot more that what i was able to learn from the college lecturer. this presenter is many many time a better presenter than the then lecturer ever was.
