farad to petafarad
Please provide values below to convert farad [F] to petafarad [PF], or change ↔.
farad [F]
Definition: The SI unit of capacitance, defined as the amount of capacitance that allows one coulomb of charge to build up with one volt of electrical potential difference.
Historyandorigin: Named after Michael Faraday, the farad is the standard unit used to measure capacitance in electrical circuits.
CurrentUse: The farad is used in modern electronics to describe the capacitance of capacitors, a key component in storing and releasing electrical charge.
funfact: The farad is a very large unit, so capacitors in most devices are measured in microfarads (µF) or picofarads (pF) for practical purposes!
petafarad [PF]
Definition: A unit of capacitance equal to 10^15 farads, used in very large capacitance scenarios.
Historyandorigin: The petafarad is part of the SI system's scale for large capacitances, although its use is theoretical in nature.
CurrentUse: Mostly used in specialized scientific research or astrophysics, where extremely large capacitances are considered in theoretical models.
funfact: In practical terms, a petafarad capacitor would be an engineering impossibility with today's technology!

How to Convert farad to petafarad
1 farad [F] = 1.E-15 petafarad [PF]
1 petafarad [PF] = 1000000000000000 farad [F]
we use cross multiplication method
farad [F] → petafarad [PF]
1 → 1.E-15
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.E-15=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.5E-15
