How the formula works
Both kilofarad and picofarad measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in kilofarads by 1.000000e+15 to get picofarads. To reverse the conversion, multiply a picofarad value by 1.000000e-15 to get back to kilofarads.
Frequently asked questions
What is Kilofarad (kF)?
A Kilofarad (kF) equals 1,000 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for kilo-scale electrical work.
What is Picofarad (pF)?
A Picofarad (pF) equals 1e-12 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for pico-scale electrical work.
How do I convert kilofarads to picofarads?
Multiply the kilofarad value by 1.000000e+15 to get the equivalent in picofarads. For example, 5 kF × 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 picofarads back to kilofarads?
Yes. Divide the picofarad value by 1.000000e+15, or multiply it by 1.000000e-15, to get kilofarads.
