FCC Exam Question: 6A33
The prefix " meg " means:
Explanation: The prefix "meg" (or "mega") is a standard unit prefix in the International System of Units (SI) used extensively in amateur radio and electronics. It signifies a multiplier of one million (1,000,000 or 10^6) for whatever quantity it precedes. For example, a frequency of 14.250 MHz (megahertz) means 14,250,000 hertz, and a 2.2 Megohm resistor has a resistance of 2,200,000 ohms. Understanding these prefixes is fundamental for interpreting schematics, frequency bands, and component values. Option B is incorrect as there is no standard SI prefix for 100,000. Option C describes the "kilo" (k) prefix, which means multiply by 1,000. Option D describes a division, which would correspond to a prefix like "micro" (μ) if it were 1/1,000,000, but "meg" is specifically a multiplier.
