Want To know About Variable Connections..

Helo i wanted to control amplifier bias.
But I don't know how.to connect it. Any one can tell about it. It may also help others who are beginner in to the electronics...
Thanks In advance..

Use the middle pin of the preset and either one of the end pins. Leave the other pin unconnected. Maximum resistance (so set at 200 ohm) will give minimum bias current.

Depending which end pin you use determines whether bias goes up or down with clockwise rotation so its your choice as to what seems best and whether access to the preset is from above or below.

Is It Ok Now???
Yes, and as you look at that picture the bias current will increase as you turn the pot clockwise.

Or what is difference between diodes bias control or variable bias control or resistors bias control???
Diodes can be used for temperature compensation but they have to be in thermal contact with the heatsink. As the heatsink gets hotter, the voltage across the diodes falls a little and that pulls the bias back down.

Your circuit with the transistor is called a vbe multiplier and the transistor should be in thermal contact with the heatsink.
