Default Re: capacitors in series - pitfalls?

Yes, but SI prefixes are not very consistent. We have G for giga, M for mega (bigger than the basic unit) and c for centi, m for milli (smaller than the basic unit). By that logic I'd expect the prefix for kilo to be K rather than k. Whether you use kohm or Kohm, there's no confusion. That's not the case m and M though.
