Basic LED Glowing Circuit

Components Required:

1) Breadboard

2) 1N4007 Diode

3) 470 ohm resistor

4) LED (Any Color)

5) 9Volt Battery

6) Digital Multimeter

Procedure:

• Connect the 1N4007 diode, 470Ω resistor & an LED in series in the breadboard. 

• Connect the 9V battery's positive end to the anode of 1N4007 diode and negative end to the cathode of the LED as shown in the circuit diagram below.

• Measure the voltage across various points of the circuit using a digital multimeter.
