- I am confused about a notation highlighted shown below
- Relevant Equations
- C = Q/V
Can someone tell me what that means? I'm think it should be a mu.
The alternate symbol for mu for x 10^-6 is "µ".
The alternate symbol "µ" is used because the standard symbol "μ" may be confused with the letter "m" or the prefix "micro-".
Yes, the alternate symbol "µ" is widely accepted and used in scientific and technical fields.
Yes, there are other alternate symbols such as "u" and "mc" that are sometimes used instead of "µ". However, "µ" is the most commonly used alternate symbol.
You can type the alternate symbol "µ" by holding down the "Alt" key and typing "230" on the numeric keypad. Alternatively, you can copy and paste the symbol from a character map or special character menu.
