Does this RGB LED really need 220 ohm resistors per color?
2015年1月6日 · The directions call for three 220-ohm resistors, but is that necessary? My math tells me that Red needs a 100-ohm and the Green & Blue need 160-ohm's. Won't using more resistance decrease the luminosity of the LED?
Type of resistors - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange
2017年10月1日 · For a 220 Ohm resistor, the current will be 3.2V / 220 Ohms = 14.5 mA. So that is good. I wanted to double-check what you said about the current. That is why I asked for the supply voltage. The power dissipated by a resistor can be calculated two different ways. The first way uses resistor voltage: P=V^2/R. We get 3.2 * 3.2 / 220 = 0.046 W, aka ...
Finding Current Used by an LED - Electrical Engineering Stack …
2021年9月18日 · In the Arduino Start Kit, the first circuit is very basic: 5V power, 220 ohm resistor, and an LED with a forward voltage of 2.2V. However, here's two things I can't reconcile: The booklet says that current can be calculated via Ohm's …
5 Band resistors and correct orientation
2014年7月5日 · If these are 1 percent resistors, the brown band, per the deductive logic, is the 5th, tolerance band. The first three numbers are the three digut value: 220 (red-red-black). The 4th band is a multiplier: X1000 (orange). So these are …
current - Why is a 220 Ω resistor for this LED suggested when …
2022年8月1日 · It then goes on to recommend a resistor of ateast 220 Ω resistor as do some other sources. I plan on powering the LED through the Pi Pico VBUS pin which, if I understand correctly, is roughly 5 V. Also, after some research I came to the conclusion that the blue LED is most likely in the 25 mA current draw ballpark.
ohms law - Why do we need resistors in led - Electrical …
2012年3月20日 · So if we change from a 69 ohm resistor to a 200 ohm resistor, what is the change in the current? Again we use Ohm's law this time to solve for current in the circuit, I = V / R or 3.3v / 200 ohms = .0165A and when we look at the LED data sheet we see that this value is in the recommended range of 16 mA to 18 mA so the LED should be sufficiently ...
switches - modding an LED fan to tri-color - Electrical Engineering ...
2013年8月25日 · I'm an enthusiast with little knowledge beyond Ohm's law and I need some help. I'm trying to mod a blue LED fan in my pc to have tri-color LEDs. I've done some research and I'm fairly certain I will need a four-state switch. One for off, one for Red, one for Green, one for Blue. Any suggestions on how I might approach something like this?
Why we use 330 ohm resistor to connect a LED? [duplicate]
Voltage drop across a LED depends on a it's color, for blue led for example - 3.4V. So if you have 5V power supply, and want 5mA current through led (5mA usually gives good visibility), you need (5V-3.4V)/0.005A = 320 Ohm resistor. (I.e. this resistance will give voltage drop across resistor of 1.6V, remaining 3.4V drops on LED => 5V total)
Why use bigger resistors for LED? - Electrical Engineering Stack …
2020年5月28日 · R = (5V - 3.5V)/25mA = 60 Ohm However I see that most times bigger resistors are used, like 220 Ohm or 330 Ohm. Why is it better to use bigger resistors then to stick with the calculated values?
calculating red LED resistor arduino - Electrical Engineering Stack ...
2016年10月29日 · The first project is just to make an red LED light up on a 5V power source. in that circuit they use a 220 ohm resistor. My question is what formula do we use to calculate the resistor? I do know that the recommended amperage for an LED is between the 20-25mA and when I calculate the Amperage (5V/220ohm) I get 23mA.
