NChannel MOSFET/ LED circuit problems
hi
i'm trying switch 12v leds using nchannel mosfets. i've got arduino mega2560 pull gates high , low , in 1 configuration, led between power supply , mosfet, led lights when required.
however when move led other side of mosfet, ie between mosfet , ground, doesn't
can enlighten me why second configuration fails , can make work?
many thanks

the first schematic, must have resistor in series led.
the second: led forward voltage + gate source voltage more vcc, no current can flow.
replace mos transistor bipolar transistor ( , resistor ) makes work
