My question is...in the first diagram (below) the resistance is 220
ohm ie 0.2KOhm
But in the second diagram the resistances are 2.2KOhm
Which is the correct one?

| (...) Resistors in series with LEDs are generally current limiters, meaning that the LED is very low resistance when conducting, so the resistor is the determinant of current flow. With the little colored LEDs I teach my students to hook up a 1K pot (...) (28 years ago, 13-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
