Schematics, Ohm's Law and Potentiometers

Introduction to Schematics and Data Sheets

Task: Find minimum resistance at data sheet Forward Voltage to produce brightest LED.

Calculation: [(Power supply) 5.15V - (LED Foward Voltage) 1.85V] /[(Current)/.02A] = 165 Ohm

Find next highest resistor, reduce cost and production time (real life). In my schematic, used 2 resistors in series to make 165 Ohm. Attach to Potentiometer to produce "Dimmer Light"
