Hear is my problem:
I want to insert a switch into a 12v line with an led in parrallel after the switch. The purpose of the led is ti show the line is live. I know I will need a resistor for the led so the 12v does not burn it out. The question is how large should the resistor be to ensure that the led does not burn out? Isnt a 100ohm resistor used infront of an led when the voltage source is 9v? What would I use for 12v?
Thanks for the help.
