Does the resistor need to go before the LED?

This video answers the most common question we get on our popular breadboard tutorial video (   • How to Use a Breadboard  ): in a circuit with a battery, a resistor, and an LED, does the resistor need to be before the LED? It turns out that the answer is no! The resistor can be placed either before or after the LED in the circuit. Watch this video to find out why.
