Question 1

How do you convert ohms to kilohms?

Accepted Answer

Divide by 1000. Example: 4700 Ω = 4.7 kΩ. Kilohms are common for resistor values.

Question 2

What are standard resistor values?

Accepted Answer

E12 series: 10, 12, 15, 18, 22, 27, 33, 39, 47, 56, 68, 82 (×1, ×10, ×100, etc.).

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.
