How the formula works
Both centifarad and petafarad measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in centifarads by 1.000000e-17 to get petafarads. To reverse the conversion, multiply a petafarad value by 1.000000e+17 to get back to centifarads.
Frequently asked questions
What is Centifarad (cF)?
A Centifarad (cF) equals 1/100 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for centi-scale electrical work.
What is Petafarad (PF)?
A Petafarad (PF) equals 1e+15 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for peta-scale electrical work.
How do I convert centifarads to petafarads?
Multiply the centifarad value by 1.000000e-17 to get the equivalent in petafarads. For example, 5 cF × 1.000000e-17 = 5.000000e-17 PF.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e-17 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert petafarads back to centifarads?
Yes. Divide the petafarad value by 1.000000e-17, or multiply it by 1.000000e+17, to get centifarads.
