$10^4$

Explanation:

To express $10000$ as a power of $10$ , you need to determine how many times you need to multiply $10$ by itself in order to get $10000$ .

Recall that the number of zeros after the $1$ in $10000$ represents the number of times you multiply $10$ by itself. Since there are $4$ zeros after the $1$ , $10$ is multiplied by itself four times.

This can be expressed as:

$10^4$
