- Points None
Chapter 1.2 Lecture (L1-2) Units and Notation (review)
Today we are going to have a quick review of SI units, and how to convert between them. We'll use this constantly throughout the class. We'll also quickly review significant digits, so we can be on the same page with those throughout the semester.
Application of the Day: Micro- and Nanotechnology (Technology Brief 1 from your textbook Links to an external site.)
Question of the Day / Learning Objectives
What are standard electrical SI units, and their prefixes?
(units for power, voltage, current, and resistance and their abbreviations) (what are micro, milli, kilo and their abbreviations)
