I'm currently studying about transistors and I would like some guidance on this part
where an amplifier has this kind of circuit

For the DC Equivalent Circuit
The potentiometer would be a fixed resistor and the capacitor would be open and would result to a circuit of

On an AC Equivalent Circuit

the capacitor would be shorted. However I can't seem to understand how would the potentiometer act on this circuit
