Introduction
We started this experiment on March 9,2017. The objective of this experiment was to test the
current flow of the Breadboard and to find out if the 3 LED bulbs have the same brightness from
the resistors. I was able to learn many new information about these kinds of circuits and how to
wire them correctly. From this experiment, I was able to gather information about how the whole
current flow system works, and learned that connecting wires properly is a needed skill for the
future.

Resistor
The brightness of the LEDs was adjusted by the number of ohms on the resistor. From these
three resistors, the brightest resistor was the 100ohm, 470ohm was the second brightest resistor,

Discussion
There were three lights that showed different brightnesss as I connected them into the
Breadboard. My hypotheses stated that the resistors are not going to make a huge impact in this
experiment. My hypotheses were wrong after the experiment was finished. My hypotheses were
incorrect because the three diverse types of resistors made an significant impact on the lights.
The resistors adjusted the brightnesss of the lights. The resistors were 100ohm, 470ohm, and
1000ohm. The 100ohm colour code is Brown, Black, Brown, Gold, the 40ohm colour code is
Yellow, Violet, Brown, Gold, and the 1000ohm colour code is Brown, Black, Red, Gold. These
resistors control the amount of electricity going to the lights, so because the volts are unbalanced,
without resistors a circuit could explode. So, it is important to have resistors in the circuit and it
Conclusion
In conclusion, the brightness of the three LEDs was adjusted by the resistors. 100ohm resistor
was the brightest one of them all, 470ohm was the second brightest of them all, and 1000ohm
was the least bright of them all. The several types of resistors had different brightnesss. The
brightness was adjusted by the number of ohms in the resistor. The resistor with the most number
