Study Notes
Prefixes for Multiples of Units
- Prefixes are used to represent larger values of physical quantities.
- The table lists some prefixes and their corresponding multiples of 10.
- Tera (T) = 1012
- Giga (G) = 109
- Mega (M) = 106
- Kilo (k) = 103
- Hecto (h) = 102
- Deca (da) = 101
Prefixes for Submultiples of Units
- Prefixes are used to represent smaller values of physical quantities.
- The table lists some prefixes and their corresponding submultiples of 10.
- Deci (d) = 10-1
- Centi (c) = 10-2
- Milli (m) = 10-3
- Micro (µ) = 10-6
- Nano (n) = 10-9
- Pico (p) = 10-12
