gollark: IIRC, if we assume the LED is an ideal diode, it'll just always have a 2V potential difference across it (if there's more than 2V in the circuit and also it is the right way round oops).
gollark: Well, that would actually have been right if you used the right units then added 2, possibly.
gollark: Not just... multiply... them?
gollark: I'm pretty sure you'd have to work out what voltage across the resistor would give you 20mA through it, then add 2 to it for the LED.
gollark: Multiple errors on that question.
