Hi i'm a little new to electric circuits and wiring and all that, so go easy on me plz. But anyway i was hoping someone could help. I have wired some batteries, LEDS, and resistors together to get some basic lighting and i can't seem to get them to light up.
diagram is as follows
[- 9v +]----[- 9v +]----[- 9v +]------(R 100Ω)--(R 100Ω)--(R 100Ω)-----[+ 3.5vLED -]-----(nextline)
[+ 3.5vLED -]-----[+ 3.5vLED -]------[+ 3.5vLED -]------[+ 3.5vLED -]------[+ 3.5vLED -]------[negative of 1st 9v]
While trying to troubleshoot i used the voltage meter and this is what i've found, but not sure what it means:
[- 9v +]----[- 9v +]----[- 9v +]-^28.8v -(R 100Ω)--(R 100Ω)--(R 100Ω)-^28.8v-[+ 3.5vLED1 -]-^22.2v-(nextline)
[+ 3.5vLED2 -]-^4v-[+ 3.5vLED3-]- ^1.2v-[+ 3.5vLED4-]------[+3.5vLED5-]------[+3.5vLED6-]------[negative of 1st 9v]
I'm Getting a very significant Voltage Loss inside LED#2
And an elevated Voltage loss at LED1, because it is only a 3.5v LED and It's losing 6.6v
If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated
