Value Multipliers Tutorial

In Electronics we use some very large and some very small values.  To make them easier to deal with we use MULTIPLIERS.

For example 1000,000,000,000 Hertz can be labelled 1 Terahertz and 0.000,000,000,001 Ohms is the same as 1 picohm

            1,000,000
            1,000
            0.001
            0.000,001
            0.000,000,001
            0.000,000,000,001

See that 1 microfarad is 1000 nanofarad.

There are 1,000 picofarad in 1 nanofarad.

Practice converting one to another.
