Hello--
Back in the day, an introductory Electrical Engineering textbook
(e.g., Hayt and Kemmerly) started off using units of basic values
for examples.
Hence, a circuit would contain, say, a one-Ohm resistor, a one Henry inductor, and
a one Farad capacitor.
One of my classmates expressed excitement at discovering a 100-Ohm resistor,
which he thought was phenomenal.
The next day, I brought in a 10-megohm resistor, a 10-pF capacitor
and a one millihenry inductor. Over a cuppa of coffee, I filled him in
about real-world component values<g>.
