Question 6A30
Element 6 (Radiotelegraph)The prefix " kilo " means:
Explanation
"Kilo" is a standard metric prefix used throughout science, engineering, and amateur radio. It signifies a factor of one thousand (1000). When "kilo" precedes a unit, it means that quantity is multiplied by 1000.
For instance, in amateur radio, 1 kilohertz (kHz) means 1000 Hertz, and 1 kilowatt (kW) means 1000 Watts. This standardization allows for concise expression of large values, which are common in frequency, power, and resistance measurements.
Options B and C are incorrect because "kilo" specifically denotes multiplication by 1000, not division or addition. Dividing by 1000 would be represented by the prefix "milli" (e.g., millivolt), and there isn't a standard prefix for simply adding a quantity.
