Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

This circuit consists of a simple LED circuit powered by a 9V battery. The circuit includes two resistors, each with a resistance of 200 Ohms, and a red two-pin LED. The LED is connected in series with the resistors and the battery, ensuring that the LED receives an appropriate current to operate without being damaged. The negative terminal of the battery is connected to the cathode of the LED, while the positive terminal is connected to the anodes of the LED through the resistors.
