VALUE MULTIPLIERS
CLICK HERE TO BUY THE CD

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

See that 1 microfarad is 1000 nanofarad.
There are 1,000 picofarad in 1 nanofarad.
