To convert volts per ohm to microamps, the correct approach involves multiplying by 1,000,000 (10^6). For example, a calculation of 2.7 V/Ohm results in 2,700,000 microamps (uA). The relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) is defined by Ohm's Law, where 1 Amp equals 1 Volt per 1 Ohm. Therefore, understanding this conversion is crucial for accurate electrical measurements. The discussion emphasizes the importance of proper unit conversion in electrical calculations.

conversion for volt/ohms to uA

is it 10^-6?
I just want to make sure, thanks!

Well you multiply by 10⁶, right? So 2.7 V/Ohm = 2700000 uA.

But yeah, because V = IR, an Amp is a Volt per Ohm.

Thread 'Magnitude of buoyant force in fluids of different densities'

The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
