I am drawing a circuit but not getting right result. I am to assemble the circuit below using +-10V supplies with all those specifications I have put in. I leave Node A open and adjust R4 to make Vc=0V. When I measure Vc originally it is about 10VDC(on the DVM). If I use a 100M resistor it only makes it about 3V. What is wrong with my circuit(the second link)?

V2 is upside down. You are supposed to have one end of the potentiometer be at +10 V, but you connected the + end of the +10 V supply supply to ground.

Also, you have not connected anything to what I presume are the power supply pins for the amplifier symbol.

Ok, so I changed the V2 supply. And I am getting about 88mV DC without the +-10 supply to the op amp and about 75mV DC with them connected. But for some reason when I change R4 resistor the the Vc voltage does not change from either 75mV or 88mV no matter what I change the resistor to. So I imagine something is still wrong.
