Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a circuit with three LEDs, each having a forward voltage of 2.0V, connected to a 12V power supply. Calculate resistor values for each to maintain a current of 25mA.

💡 Hint: Apply the formula for each LED individually.

Challenge 2 Hard

If you replace an incandescent bulb in a circuit with two parallel LEDs, calculate the total current drawn if each LED has a forward voltage of 2V from a 12V supply.

💡 Hint: Calculate each LED separately first.
