Question 1

How do you convert microfarads to picofarads?

Accepted Answer

Multiply μF by 1,000,000. Example: 0.1 μF = 100,000 pF = 100 nF.

Question 2

What are typical capacitor ranges?

Accepted Answer

Electrolytic: 1-10,000 μF. Ceramic: 1 pF - 10 μF. Film: 0.001 - 10 μF.

Question 3

What's the relationship between volts, amps, and watts?

Accepted Answer

Power (Watts) = Voltage (Volts) × Current (Amps). To find any value, divide or multiply: Amps = Watts/Volts, Volts = Watts/Amps.

Question 4

Is AWG or metric wire gauge better?

Accepted Answer

AWG (American Wire Gauge) uses arbitrary numbers where smaller = thicker. Metric (mm²) directly indicates cross-sectional area, making calculations easier.
