#What is the difference of both circuits?

From what I've heard, it doesn't matter what side of the LED a resistor is on, at least in a self-contained circuit
That's my understanding as well. As long as it exists, things are fine. Which feels weird to me, but I'm not an engineer.
Thanks guys, I very much appreciate your feedback 😃
Could you expound further on how the current flows through the LED, to the Resistor and back to the Battery?
You mentioned that this is "a self-contained circuit". What does that mean?
The only thing I remember about that is that current flows backwards to how we might think, and "flow" is a bit of an overstatement (electrons move slowly, I think)
Interesting...
Did you mention something @quick cliff ?
Sorry for the spurious notice. I was answering the original question before noticing someone else had already done so in the thread.
I mean, like, if it's in a circuit with other components, those other components have their own electrical characteristics and you need to keep those in mind
