Consider the LED circuit containing a red, green, and blue LED as shown in Fig. 4.89. The LEDs behave much like a voltage source resulting in the circuit in Fig. 4.89, where the light output from each LED will be proportional to the current flowing through the LED. (a) Calculate the current flowing through each LED (IRed, IGreen, and IBlue) if R1 = R2 = R3 = 100 Ω. (b) Determine the resistor values R1, R2, and R3 needed to ensure that the LEDs each have a current of 4 mA flowing through them.
