How can the value of 200,000 ohms be expressed in a different notation?

• A. 200 MΩ
• B. 200 kΩ
• C. 200 Ω
• D. 2000 kΩ

Answer: (B)

The value of 200,000 ohms can be expressed as 200 kΩ because the prefix 'k' stands for 'kilo,' which denotes a factor of one thousand. Therefore, 200,000 ohms is equivalent to 200 kilohms, with 'k' indicating that the number is multiplied by 1,000. This notation is commonly used in electronics to simplify the representation of large values, making it easier to read and understand.

The other options misrepresent the value. Specifically, the 'M' prefix represents 'mega' and would indicate millions of ohms, while 'Ω' without any prefix denotes a single ohm, both of which do not accurately reflect the given value. Additionally, referencing the value as 2000 kΩ is incorrect since that would imply a value of 2,000,000 ohms, not 200,000.
