@jim hardy ok. I think I'm following you. So it's safe practice to have resistors hooked up to base, collector and emitter. Thank you much for helping me out!

@jim hardy thanks for your quick response! I currently don't have access to the bat cave so i can't physically experiment till tomorrow. But...I don't see any difference from having two resistors that add up to 860 and having one resistor at 860 for the LED. I noticed you asked for the current...

Hello everyone. I'm trying to teach myself how electronics work and I've ran into some questions with this circuit. This is from Make:Electronics experiment 10. I understand R2 is resisting the flow to the gate so the transistor doesn't fry. I also understand R3 will restrict flow to the LED...
