Convert Picofarads to Farads
Enter the capacitance in picofarads below to get the value converted to farads.
How to Convert Picofarads to Farads
To convert a picofarad measurement to a farad measurement, divide the capacitance by the conversion ratio. One farad is equal to 1,000,000,000,000 picofarads, so use this simple formula to convert:
The capacitance in farads is equal to the picofarads divided by 1,000,000,000,000.
Picofarads and farads are both units used to measure capacitance. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Picofarads
The picofarad is 1/1,000,000,000,000 of a farad, which is the capacitance of a capacitor with a potential difference of one volt when it is charged by one coulomb of electricity.
The picofarad is a multiple of the farad, which is the SI derived unit for capacitance. In the metric system, "pico" is the prefix for 10-12. Picofarads can be abbreviated as pF, for example 1 picofarad can be written as 1 pF.
Farads
The farad is defined as the capacitance of a capacitor that has a potential difference of one volt when charged by one coulomb of electricity.[1] The farad is considered to be a very large capacitance value, and multiples of the farad are commonly used to measure capacitance in practical applications, though the farad is still used in some applications.
The farad is the SI derived unit for capacitance in the metric system. Farads can be abbreviated as F, for example 1 farad can be written as 1 F.
