I am an engineering student and have performed various practicals related to logic gates in which LED is my output device.I always have used 330Ω/470Ω resistor in series with the LED.But I don't know the reason behind that.I even know that without that resistor, LED sometimes malfunctions, causing it to stop working. But yet don't know how that resistor helps in protecting LED?
Any help from anyone will be of great benefit for me...
