Two resistors are in series, with the second resistor having twice the resistance of the first. When current passes through them, how does the current through the first resistor compare to the current through the second resistor? The first resistor has the same current as the second. The first resistor has four times the current as the second. The first resistor has one-fourth the current as the second. The first resistor has twice the current as the second. The first resistor has half the current as the second.

In step 2 you measured the voltage across each of the LEDs. This is their “forward voltage” that is referred to in the LED component page, which is the voltage required to light the LEDs. Notice that the combined forward voltage of D1 and D2 is greater than 3.3V, the LEDs will not light up at all. You should also have noticed that the forward voltage for one of the LEDS is lower than the forward voltage for the other LED. Some LEDS require less energy to light than others. Since D1 and D2 are in series, the same current will flow through each, but the different voltages across each LED reflect the different energy requirements.
