Light Emitting Diodes

Students investigate the properties of an LED with current and voltage sensors. They use their observations to describe the behavior of an LED. They create a circuit with an LED and incandescent bulb in parallel. They make comparisons between the operating characteristics of an LED and an incandescent bulb.
