Purpose
To easily present values in scientific notation, including uncertainty. Wraps entire result in "nowrap" block, so it never gets broken in seperate pieces at the end of a line.
There are two shorter aliases for this template: {{Sci}} and {{Val}}, which can be used if the long name of the main template makes the page you're editing hard to read.
Arguments
- 1 The value
or
- 1 The value
- 2 The uncertainty
or
- 1 The value
- 2 The upper limit of uncertainty
- 3 The lower limit of uncertainty (must be a negative value)
and you can use the following named arguments:
- e The exponent for power of 10.
- u The units for the number.
Examples
{{ScientificValue|1.234}}-> Template:ScientificValue{{ScientificValue|1.234|e=10|u=m}}-> Template:ScientificValue{{ScientificValue|1.234|0.005}}-> Template:ScientificValue{{ScientificValue|1.234|+0.005|-0.001}}-> Template:ScientificValue{{ScientificValue|1.234|0.05|e=5}}-> Template:ScientificValue{{ScientificValue|1.234|+0.05|-0.04|e=-23|u=ms<sup>-1</sup>}}-> Template:ScientificValue
