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.
Practice converting one
to another.
