AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on a circuit involving a 10k resistor connected to a 56k resistor and ground. Participants question the significance of an arrow leading from a 100 µF capacitor to the 10k resistor, suggesting it indicates a connection point. The circuit includes a potentiometer, which is a variable resistor that allows for adjustments, similar to a volume control. Clarification is sought on the functionality and purpose of these components within the circuit. Understanding these connections is essential for proper circuit analysis and design.

the 10k resistor is connected to the 56k resistor and ground but what is that arrow that goes from 100 uf to the 10k? This resistor has 3 connections?

its a pot (potentiometer). With such device you turn the "volume" wheel for eg.

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

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...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

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...
