Schematics, Ohm's Law, and Potentiometers

Changing brightness with resistors

In this experiment I connected my power supply to a bread board. I then placed three LEDs each one connected to a resistor of 100 ohms, 1.0 Kohms, and the last connected to 10Kohms. I also connected three jumper wires to each LED/resistor. The LED with the least amount of resistance, the brightest, was the  LED connected to the 100ohm resistor. The LED that was dimmest was connected to the 10K resistor.
A 5Kohm resistor would be brighter than the 10Kohm and dimmer than the 100ohm, and 1.0Kohm resistor.



Ohm's Law
