1. a) Design a combination circuit that has four LED’s and one resistor. Each LED will be in parallel and have its own switch. The circuit will have a resistor in series with the LED’s while they are connected in parallel. Each LED’s will drop 1.4vDC in parallel, with the same specifications. Make sure you size R1 (resistor R1) correctly using a VT of 9v. Each LED branch will have 20mA of current through it. Calculate all values including power at each component.   b) Also, if the 9v battery had a rating of 2 watt-hours, how long would it last? If you wanted to make each LED 1/3 brighter than the other in parallel, how would you change the circuit to make that happen? Explain and show calculations. (Hint… you do not need transistor(s), but you can use them in your design).
