Multiples / Sub-multiples

<^< Electrical Units | Course Index | Examples: Units and Multiples >^>(:nl:)

Unfortunately, many of the derived units are somewhat cumbersome for everyday use but we can make life a little easier by using the standard range of multiples and sub-multiples shown in the table below.

PrefixAbbreviationMultiplier
TeraT10'^12^' (=1,000,000,000,000)
GigaG10'^9^' (=1,000,000,000)
MegaM10'^6^' (=1,000,000)
Kilok10'^3^' (=1,000)
(none)(none)10'^0^' (=1)
