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 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

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

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)
