3.2*10-5

multiple and divide by 10

=(3.2*10^-5*10)/10
=(32*10^-5)/10
=(32*10^-5*10-1)
=32*10^-6
=32uA (1uA=10^-6)

1 uA=10^-6 A,
So 3.2x10^-5 A=32x10^-6 A=32uA

3.2*10^-5
we can multiply and dived by 10
3.2(10/10)*10^-5
we know that
3.2/10= 32,1/10=10^-1
then
32*10^-5*10^-1=32*10^-6

3.2*10^-5*10^6
3.2*10^1
32micro amp.

3.2*10^-5.
We can write 3.2 is (32/10).

So,
-->(32/10)*10^-5,
-->We can rewrite (32/10)is (32*10^-1),

-->Then,
-->32*10^-1*10^-5.
-->32*10^(-1-5).
-->32*10^-6.

-->Answer is 32 micro amp.

3.2*10^-5
We can write 3.2 as 32/10.

32/10*10^-5.

32*10^-5-1.

32*10-6.

So we know,
10^-6= 1 micro.

32*1 micro.

32u answer.

3.2 x 10^-5 = 0.032 x 10^-3.
= 0.000032.

Then converting it in metric prefix.
Shift dec point 6 digit right.
= 32 x 10^-6.
= 32uA.

Lets us discuss simply manner.

First we should know that 1µA = 10^-6A-----(1).

THEN, 3.2*10^-5 {now move the left side to decimal point then inc +0 on right} 32*10^-6.

32*10^-6 = 32*1µA (because from eq(1) we studied that 1µA = 10^-6).
= 32µA is the answer

3.2/100000= 0.000032.
Now we know 1µ = 10^6.

So,
0.000032*10^6= 32 µA.
