When do I need the 3V connection (Microbit)?

Hi, I'm currently working with Microbits and I'm wondering when I need the 3V connection. The 3V connection is a voltage divider. According to ChatGPT, "The voltage divider ensures that the measured voltage is converted into a digital value from 0 to 1023. " So, for example, I need 3V if I have a potentiometer installed, right? And what voltage is "divided"? The voltage from the negative (GND) to the positive (P0)?

The microbit is 3.3V system should therefore be each input voltage maximum 3.3V.

So if you start a potentiometer from 3.3V to mass.

A probe from the GPIO to GND or from 3.3V to the GPIO.

The 3.3V are also not a voltage divider but the output of the 3.3V voltage regulator and at the same time the reference voltage of the ADC.
