An electronics technician measures a potential difference of $3.5\text{ kV}$ across the secondary winding of an ignition transformer. What is this electromotive force expressed in volts ( $\text{V}$ )?

Cevap: 3500 V

Cevap

3,500 V

The prefix 'kilo-' (abbreviated as 'k') indicates a factor of

1{}000

. Therefore, an electromotive force of

3.5\text{ kV}

is equivalent to

3.5 \times 1{}000 = 3{}500\text{ V}

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the standard metric prefix multiplier for kilo (k)

The prefix kilo represents a multiplier of

10^3

, or

1{}000

Electromotive force expressed with standard engineering prefixes must be converted using the appropriate power of ten.

Multiply the numerical value in kilovolts by 1,000

3.5 \times 1{}000 = 3{}500\text{ V}

To convert from a larger prefixed unit (kilovolts) to the base electrical unit (volts), multiply by

1{}000
