      1 use these to convert to the standard unit 
      2 ie:
      3  1km = 1 x 1000 meter
      4  1mV = 1 / 1000 volts 
      5 
      6 G = giga = x 1,000,000,000 = x10^9
      7 M = mega = x 1,000,000 = x10^6
      8 k = kilo = x 1000 = x10^3
      9 m = milli = / 1000 = x10^-3
     10 u (funny u (mu)) = micro = / 1,000,000 = x10^-6
     11 n = nano = / 1,000,000,000 = x10^-9
     12 p = pico = / 1,000,000,000,000 = x10^-12
     13 
     14 you can do the inverse of those to convert to a more reasonable scale
     15 ie:
     16  120,000V = 12kV
     17  0.15A = 150mA
     18 
     19 first half of the lesson was learning those and touching up on standard form
     20 
     21 second half we are going over current and voltage
     22 
     23 current is the rate of flow of charge, to find the current, i = q/t with i being current, q is culombs and t is time
     24 AMETERS GO IN SERIS
     25 
     26 voltage is the energy tranfered per unit of charge 
     27 v = e/q with v being volts, e being energy, and q being culombs
     28 VOLTMETER GO IN PARRALEL
     29 
     30 later on we are doing practical, mesuring voltage with circuit with a bulb or a resistor
     31 plotted the results on a graph, my resistor graph was perfectly liner
     32 and my bulb graph is more similar to a cubic graph
     33    -
     34   /
     35 -
     36 kind of like that
     37 
     38 we looked at a bit of resistance at the end, worksheet work (BRING IT TO THE NEXT LESSON)
