How would you connect a resistor in order to reduce an LED's applied voltage?

You could use the voltage divider rule to reduce the voltage. Using two resistors in series, the input voltage will drop across each resistor by an amount that is proportionate to the values of the resistors. If the 1st resistor is 10K and the 2nd resistor is 100K, the voltage drop across the 10K will be 10 times LESS than that of the 100K resistor. The total voltage drop across both resistors will be equal to the supplied input voltage. Work out the ratio of voltage you need from the total input voltage and use 2 resistors will that give you the same ratio. Connect the LEDs in parallel with the resistor the gives you the voltage you want. Use a MM to measure the voltage across the resistor before wiring LEDs.


How do you find unknown value of a resistor when total resistor values and voltage are known in a series circuit?

A: If you know the total resistance and total voltage then you know total current flow for the circuit, this current will be same for every resistor in series however the voltage drop will change for each resistor . So measuring the voltage drop across the resistor in question and divide by the total current will give you the resistor value.


What is the voltage drop running through resistor 1 resistor 1 equals 3 ohms?

There is insufficient information in the question to answer it. You need to provide either the voltage across the resistor, or the power dissipated by the resistor. please restate the question.

In a series circuit why does the largest voltage drop occur across the largest or smallest resistor?

It doesn't. In a series circuit, the largest voltage drop occurs across the largest resistor; the smallest voltage drop occurs across the smallest resistor.


Does a resistor drop current or voltage?

A resistor drops both voltage and current, however the term "drop" is generally used to indicate a voltage or current drop across the device, so it is more correctly stated that a resistor drops voltage, by allowing the current in the circuit to decrease.


What is the current drop across the resistor?

The correct question is what is the voltage drop across a resistor or the current flowing through the resistor using Ohm's Law where Voltage = Current x Resistance


What work resistor?

when a resistor is connected in a circuit it drop some voltage across it.when a circuit have large input voltage then by using a resistor of suitable value we get the desired voltage.

The voltage drop across a resistor is 1.0 V for a current of 3.0 A in the resistor what is the current that will produce a voltage drop of 9.0 V across the resistor?

The resistor is 1/3 of an ohm. A 9 volt drop across the resistor would cause a draw of 27 amps through the resistor. The wattage you would need for that resistor is at least a 243 watts.


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.
