How the formula works
Both farad and petafarad measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in farads by 1.000000e-15 to get petafarads. To reverse the conversion, multiply a petafarad value by 1.000000e+15 to get back to farads.
Frequently asked questions
What is Farad (F)?
The farad (F) is the SI unit of capacitance, measuring a capacitor's ability to store electric charge per volt.
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 farads to petafarads?
Multiply the farad value by 1.000000e-15 to get the equivalent in petafarads. For example, 5 F × 1.000000e-15 = 5.000000e-15 PF.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e-15 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert petafarads back to farads?
Yes. Divide the petafarad value by 1.000000e-15, or multiply it by 1.000000e+15, to get farads.
