Study, 013-Transistor-Oscillator

 

To simplify the writing of large resistor values, the abbreviations K and M are used for one thousand and one million. To keep the convention standard, R is used to represent 0. Recently L was also added for milli. Because of problems in seeing the decimal point in some printed texts, the letters: M, K,R or L are used in place of the decimal point. Thus, a 2,700 Ohm resistor is written 2K7 and a 6.8 Ohm resistor is written 6R8. The same convention applies across other components and units as well, so: 
0R15 = 0.15 Ohm 

330R = 330 Ohms
4k7 = 4.7k Ohms, 4,700 Ohms 
6M8 = 6.8M Ohms, 6,800,000 Ohms 
4L7 = 4.7 milli Ohm (eg current shunt)
1V6 = 1.6Volt 
2n2 = 2.2nFarad 
4u7 = 4.7uFarad
