Testing LED

                   Remember that the LED only emits light when it is forward bias and the
                   LED does not emit light when it is revered-biased. If LED does not emit
                   light when it is forward bias then it has developed an open circuit and
                   should be replaced. Power must be off when check the LED.












































                                                -                                     x 1 ohms   +                                   -                                     x 1 ohms    +







                        a. LED emits light when it is forward bias.   b. LED does not emit light when it is reversed bias.
