प्रश्न
Answer the following in detail.
Why are multiples and submultiples of SI units required?
उत्तर
Sometimes, the size of the SI unit is either too small or too big to measure a certain quantity. For example, a metre is too small a unit to measure the distance between two cities and too big a unit to measure the thickness of a wire. Hence, multiples and submultiples of units are required. Multiples are factors used to create larger forms whereas submultiples are factors used to create smaller forms of the SI units. For example, a centimetre is a submultiple and kilometre is a multiple of a metre.
