Noob question
ok so im trying to learn electronics and am a little confused about this
I built a really simple circuit that consists of a 6V Battery,2k Potentiometer and LED...
when I measure the amps with my multimeter and the potentiometer turn on to full resistance I get 2 milliamps
and when I substitute the LED with a 1k resistor and measure it again the amps is still 2 milliamps...
I dont get it why do I still get the same amps that I do with the LED am I doing something wrong or is that suppose to happen?
so... with a LED I have a total of 2k resistance and with the resistor I have 3k total resistance
