Understanding Time Conversions

The video tutorial explains the conversion between seconds, milliseconds, and microseconds. It begins by establishing that one second equals 1,000 milliseconds and further breaks down that one millisecond equals 1,000 microseconds. Using powers of ten, the tutorial demonstrates that one second equals 10^6 microseconds. The video also covers the reverse conversion, showing that one microsecond equals 10^-6 seconds. The tutorial concludes with a summary of these conversions.
