I have realised that lots of people still have the confusion on the actual direction of current flow so, i took this time to lead you on this little experiment to clear your doupts.
Well if you find yourself to be among those who are not yet certain about the direction of current flow, then read on and carry out the little experiment at the end of the note.
It is logical to think that electricity flows in this direction
Now this is the actual current flow!
Now let the experiment start!
These are the materials you will be needing
Now
Step one: identify the anode of your LED,
Step 2: go to your mains wall socket,with your tester screwdriver, test for the live terminal.
Step 3: switch off the wall socket and extend it using the extension cable(warning!) Do this for safety.
Step 4: finally, plug in the LED and resistor into the extension and switch it ON. if it glows, reverse the terminals and check again. This time, it wont glow.
Now, to conclude, take note of its terminals whenit glowed and when it didnt.
I will be waiting for your reply!
See ya!
