  • Volts X current(AMPS) = resistance or

    AMPS X resistance = volts or

    Resistance X Volts = AMPS ;)

  • @mErK5497 no no, ohms law is V=IR. other forms include R = V/I or I=V/R. where R is resistance, V is volts and I is amps

  • im wiring with 2 batteries that are connected with clips. so i would wire the resistor on the side that ends negative or before the positive on the first battery? here x_____+-_____+-____x orhere

  • @SardonyxDeath doesn't matter. either way will work.

  • where did you get the wires and can i use regular wires

  • @haffiti2000 yes any wire will work.

  • thank you

  • thanx man im new to this stuff it really helped

  • Good video. It reminds me of my Radio Shack electronics kits when I was a teenager.

  • @xXxLinksterxXx no , u dont need resistor , cuz those led strips have already built in resistors

  • Do I need 1 resistor for each led light..?

    Example..

    2 resistors for 2 LED.?

    3 resistors for 3 LED.?

    Like that..

    Please answer..thanks..!

  • Hey I got a question can you help please? What if I bought a led light strip 12v 24 LEDs total in the strip and hooked it up to a 12v power source in my car would it be alright? Or would I need a resistor of some sort?
