7. A yellow colored LED with a forward voltage drop of 2.1IV is to be connected to a 5.0V stabilized DC power supply. Calculate the value of the series resistor required to limit the forward current to less than 10mA. Also calculate the current flowing through the diode if a 1002 series resistor is used instead of the calculated first.
