Circuit Connection: Meaning of VEE to 50k Resistor

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the circuit connection from VEE to a 50k resistor, which is identified as likely being a potentiometer used for voltage adjustment. It is suggested that one end connects to ground, the other to the supply, with the middle tap going to the circuit, allowing for adjustments to achieve VEE at -8V or to create a voltage divider. Participants agree that additional circuit details would provide better insights into its functionality. Overall, the consensus is that the resistor serves a critical role in voltage regulation within the circuit. Understanding this connection is essential for proper circuit design and functionality.

Can anyone tell me what the following circuit connection means? It's the arrow going from VEE to the 50k resistor. Thanks.

that resistor is probably just a potentiometer. voltage adjust.
typically; 1 end goes to gnd, 1 end goes to the supply, middle goes to circuit. in this case, it either is adjusting to get VEE -8V or using VEE -8V to get some form of divider or voltage scale to somewhere else

maybe I'm wrong,

I agree with edmondng. If you post more of the circuit, we could tell you more about the functionality, but from what you've posted, it's a potentiometer.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
