The leds are in parellel so you have to work on the Rtotal and then presume, as per kirchoffs laws, that the current =0
You would also only need to use one resistor
.
No, because in that aplication you are running the current of both LED's through 1 resistor and in my aplication the resistors are only seeing the current of 1 LED each.
