I'm just having fun with this breadboard but for some reason, I can't figure out why the middle LED (b/w e and f) blew out when I used my 9V battery. It lit up and quickly shut down. I smelled fumes so I assumed it blew.
Note that there used to be another LED at the bottom lined up with the others in the row. I used resistors >1k ohms for all the LEDs except the one in the middle that blew. I don't understand much about Ohm's law, but is the fact that I didn't add a resistor to the middle LED the reason it blew? If so, why? I already had other resistors so I thought there would be enough resistance.
