What is 0.00001 in engineering notation?
In engineering notation, 0.00001 is written as 10^-5.
How do you change a number to a engineering notation?
326*104
Is 35.9x10x23 a valid example for scientific notation?
No, that is engineering notation. 3.59 X 10^24 is the same number in scientific notation.
What is 293000 in scientific notation?
2.93E5, or 2.95 times 10 to the 5th power. The difference between "scientific notation" and "engineering notation" is that scientific notation generally has one digit before the decimal point and can have any exponent, while engineering notation uses exponents divisible by 3; so, 3, 6, 9, 12 and so on. So in "engineering notation", this number would be 293 times 10 to the 3rd power, or 0.293 times ten to the sixth power.
Why do you use engineering notation in electronics rather than scientific notation?
Sometimes engineers use either scientific or engineering notation, although you are correct that most of the time engineering notation is used. The reason for this the use if greek letter prefixes for quantities. Very often large and small quantities are expressed as micro, mega, giga, nano, and so on. These terms relate to engineering notation in multiples of 1000 or 1/1000. It is a very convenient shorthand not only in writing but also while speaking.Read more: Why_in_engineering_you_use_engineering_notation_instead_of_scientific_notation
