This video tutorial explores the process of intentionally burning out LEDs by using progressively smaller resistors. It covers the importance of current limiting resistors, safety precautions, and the setup of a breadboard circuit powered by a 9V battery. The tutorial also explains how to use a multimeter to measure voltage and calculate current using Ohm's Law, and encourages experimentation with different resistor values to observe various LED failure modes.
