Schematic Diagram Actual Setup

If it is connected correctly, LED should light up as shown.

This red line means that the whole row is at the same positive potential since it is connected to the positive terminal of the battery.

This black line means that the whole row is at the same negative potential since it is connected to the negative terminal of the battery.
