1mA = 10^-3,
So, 0.16 mA = 0.16 * 10^-3 = 1.6 * 10^-04,

Now we know 1microamp = 10^-6.
So the result is (1.6 * 10^-04/10^-6) = 160microamp.

0.16*10^-3a right, (0.16*10^-3 means 16*10^-5a right. That means 1.6 micro amps.

Right way @naresh.

0.16*10^-3*10^6 = 160 microampers.

fundamentals.

10^-6A = 1µA.
10^-3 = 1mA.

0.16*10^-3 = 160 microamperes.

1 micro A = 1000 mA.

So, 1000 multiply 0.16.

= 160 micro amp.

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

= 0.16x10^3.

= 0.16x1000.

= 160.00.

= 160 microA.

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
=160microA
