We Have Numbers!

After making measurements in the lab it has been determined:

  1. 6.5 cm of wire has 3 ohm resistance
    • When the length was 26 cm, the resistance was almost directly proportion at close to 12 ohm
  2. The Lilypad generates 5.18 volts of electricity 
  3. When 150k resistor is used with 5.18 volts the current through the wire is 341.33 milliamps (V/R = I)
    • 200 LED's would draw 6.8 milliamps
    • 300 LED's would draw 30.0 milliamps
    • 1000 LED's would draw 102.4 milliamps
