Farad to Picofarad Converter

Understanding Farad to Picofarad Conversion

Converting farads (F) to picofarads (pF) is a common task in electronics and electrical engineering. One farad is equal to 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) picofarads. This converter helps you quickly and accurately perform this conversion.

What is a Farad?

A farad is the SI unit of electrical capacitance, defined as the capacitance of a capacitor that has a potential difference of one volt when charged by one coulomb of electricity. Due to its large size, subunits like picofarads are more commonly used in practical applications.

What is a Picofarad?

A picofarad (pF) is one trillionth (10⁻¹²) of a farad. It's a more practical unit for everyday electronic components, as most capacitors have capacitances in the picofarad to microfarad range.
