LED Resistor Calculator
To calculate the resistor needed for a simple LED circuit, simply take the voltage drop away from the source voltage then apply Ohm's Law. In other words...
where:
V
S
is the source voltage, measured in volts (V),
V
LED
is the voltage drop across the LED, measured in volts (V),
I
LED
is the current through the LED
*
, measured in Amperes (Amps/A), and
R is the resistance, measured in Ohms (Ω).
* The current through the circuit is constant so I
LED
is also the current through the resistor.
This calculator is based on the
Ohms Law Calculator
, but takes into consideration the voltage drop from the LED. To use the calculator, enter any three known values and press "Calculate" to solve for the others.
