An LED or Light Emitting Diode is a low power semiconductor light source used in lots of electronic devices. LEDs are closeley related to transistors and regular diodes.
A diode is a semiconductor that only allows current to flow in one direction, it is a one way valve for electricity.
Diodes come in all shapes and sizes, the most important difference in them is the current rating, i.e. how much you can push through without overheating and burning the diode up. Here [...]
A Resistor “resists” current flow. Think of it as a restriction or a water valve that is stuck in a single position but not for water but for for current flow or electricity.
Resistors in action.
