Ohm’s Law Parts
(1) Resistor – 220 Ω (red-red-brown)
(1) Resistor – 470 Ω (yellow-violet-brown)
(1) Resistor – 1 kΩ (brown-black-red)
(1) Resistor – 2 kΩ (red-black-red)
(1) LED – any color
Test Circuit
The resistance value of R
current through the LED, and it glows more brightly. Higher resistance values will cause
the LED to look dim because they do not allow as much current to pass through the
circuit.

Disconnect power to your Board of Education or HomeWork Board whenever
you modify the circuit.
Build the circuit shown starting with a 220 Ω resistor.
Modify the circuit by replacing the 220 Ω resistor with a 470 Ω resistor. Was
the LED less bright?
Repeat using the 1 kΩ resistor, then the 2 kΩ resistor, checking the change in
brightness each time.
