Help connecting potentiometer

Postby shubham123 » Tue Nov 13, 2012 11:56 am

I am making a project I am not really sure how to connect the potentiometer.Main aim is to vary the voltage.
I connected the -ve end of the battery to one of the ends of the pot, +ve end of the battery to the other end of the pot,-ve of multimeter to -ve of battery, +ve of mutimeter to the middle point of the pot and I got a perfect reading.
But doing the same in the circuit but it did not work.

Have to connect the pot with Vbb in the given diagram.

This is all to do with the posting on your previous thread, and so you should have continued in that thread - not started a new one.

However, you won't get much base current from a 1.5V source through a 200K resistor. So wire the pot as you suggested but connect a 220ohm resistor between its slider and the base of the transistor. You will then be able to get up to 5mA base current.

Then [u]measure the base voltage directly on the base.[/u]

Sorry for starting a new thread.I have attached new readings in my previous post(viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5491).I had connected the transistor and pot wrongly.Please let me know if the readings are correct.
Thanks a lot for helping me out.
