Basic LED circuit
Never built a circuit before? Then start here. You can build this in a couple of minutes. It's a simple LED circuit that's powered by a 9V battery.
The Circuit
The resistor limits the current to the LED so that it doesn't break. This value could be a little bit lower (ex 330 ohm) or higher (ex 1000 ohm) without any problems.

The Layout
You can connect this circuit directly with wires since it's so simple. But make sure you check out How To Use a Breadboard if you want to learn more about connecting circuits on a breadboard instead.
