.000001

 

Re: amps help

Yes it is.If your stuck again Google is great,just type in 'microamp to amp' or 'picoamp to amp'

http://www.google.co.uk/#sclient=ps...i=g2g-s1g2&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=6087551bfa6adfac

1 microampere = 1.0 × 10-6 amperes,the -6 means six decimal places, that's the easiest way to remember,which is one millionth of an amp.

It can be confusing because micro means/equals a millionth and milliamp which you would expect to mean a millionth actually means one thousandth.

 

Pico help

Is one Pico one Trillonth

 

Re: Pico help

Yes.

 

Re: Pico help

Is there a symble for Trillionth or just a T

 

Re: Pico help

I don't really know my answer was a link to where it says pico is a suffix for one trillionth denoted by a lowercase p.

So a picogram or a picometer would be the usage from my understanding.

What are you trying to describe a trillionth of?
