Ah, simple when you know how. Thanks Dave, must get to grips with a decent scientific calculator, but to be honest even the instructions frighten me
If a resistor's value is quoted as 1.96e+4 can someone tell me how to decipher it please? The +4 is presumably to the the power of 4. What about the "e"? Thanks.I have this question because this on line calculator for meter voltage multipliers uses this format for required series resistance:http://ibration.uuuq.com/Calculators/VoltmeterMultiplier.php
Few calculators will display it in the format that IanB mentions.
All of my pocket calculators would show the result as "1.96 04" in scientific notation, which is even less pretty.
