How it comes?

Kunal said:   1 decade ago
1micro amp.=10^-6 & 1MA=10^-3.
so for converting it multiplied 0.16*10^3=160micro amp.

But how?

Lekha said:   1 decade ago
0.16 mA=0.16*10^(-3)=16*10^(-5)
in order to covert that into micro amps just multiply and devide by 10.
so that u'l get 160*1o^(-6)=160 micro amps. since i micro amp is 10^(-6).

Explain briefly.

0.16x10^-3/10^-6
=0.16x10^-3x10^6
=0.16x10^3
=0.16x1000
=160.00
=160microA

Given: 0.16*10^-3
We want in 10^-6, so multiply and divide given number by 10^-6
=>0.16*10^-3*(10^-6)/(10^-6)
=>0.16*10^3*10^-6
=>160*10^-6
Answer B.

<or>

Given: 0.16*10^-3
Shift decimal by 3 places, we get
160*10^-3*10^-3
=160*10^-6
Answer B.

0.16x10^-3/10^-6 = 0.16x10^-3x10^6.

= 0.16x10^3.

= 0.16x1000.

= 160.00.

= 160 microA.

Mohasin said:   1 decade ago
1 micro A = 1000 mA.

So, 1000 multiply 0.16.

= 160 micro amp.

fundamentals.

10^-6A = 1µA.
10^-3 = 1mA.

0.16*10^-3 = 160 microamperes.
