Identify number systems used in electronics designs.

Identification should include

  • metric system prefixes (e.g., milli, micro, nano, pico, kilo, mega, giga, tera, peta, exa)
  • analog numbers that assign value to amps, ohms, volts, and watts
  • basic units of information used in computing and digital communication.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What is a number system? What is its relationship to logic circuitry?
  • How are conversions made from one code system to another?
  • What are the base-10 and base-2 systems? What are their synonyms?
