Designing a Voltage Divider Circuit with a Trim Pot

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a voltage divider circuit using a trim potentiometer with a 9V source, a 3k Ohm resistor, and a 1k Ohm resistor. The user has built the circuit and is seeking confirmation on its correctness, providing an image of the setup. Clarification is made regarding the terminology, confirming that "turn pot" refers to a trim pot. The user expresses gratitude for the assistance and seeks further help. The conversation emphasizes the importance of proper component identification in circuit design.

Homework Statement


I need to make a circuit with a Potentiometer as a voltage divider. There is a 9V voltage source. Two resistors(in blue on the picture). The first blue line, is a 3k Ohm resistor. The second after the Turn Pot is a 1k ohm resistor. The red lines are red wire. The black line is the ground wire.


The Attempt at a Solution


I have built a circuit, the image link below is what I have done so far. I created the image in paint but I have the actual circuit built. I just want to know if I am correct or if I am wrong. Thank you.

By turn pot, do you mean trim pot?

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
