The decimal notation is the normal way people write down numbers. For small
numbers such as 1.2 or 15 it is very concise. For very large or very small numbers
it becomes clumsy, such as 5,600,000 or 0.0000000033
Scientific notation is good for bringing a wide scale of numbers into a concise
manner ready for use in calculations. The engineering notation is also concise and
in a form that we can easily read and speak, but is not convenient for calculations.
i.e. the ‘thousand’ Ohms and the ‘thousandth’ Amps if R is in the MΩ range, I is likely to be μA range
cancel each other out.
Example: 22 KΩ x 4.9 mA = 108 Volts
Example: 20 Volts = 5 mA
4 KΏ Example: 9.1 KΩ x 42.5 mA = 387 Volts
