Section 2.2 - Analyzing our LED Circuit
How does it all work?
In this lesson, you’ll analyze an LED circuit to explore basic current flow and understand the structure of an LED. Using slides and diagrams, you’ll learn how current moves through a circuit and the inner workings of an LED. In TinkerCAD, you’ll experiment with the power source, starting with a 1.5V battery, which will result in a dimly lit LED. You’ll then increase the power source to 9V and observe the LED appearing to "explode," illustrating what would happen in a real-life scenario when too much voltage is applied.
