How the formula works
Both petafarad and attofarad measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in petafarads by 1.000000e+33 to get attofarads. To reverse the conversion, multiply a attofarad value by 1.000000e-33 to get back to petafarads.
Frequently asked questions
What is Petafarad (PF)?
A Petafarad (PF) equals 1e+15 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for peta-scale electrical work.
What is Attofarad (aF)?
An Attofarad (aF) equals 1e-18 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for atto-scale electrical work.
How do I convert petafarads to attofarads?
Multiply the petafarad value by 1.000000e+33 to get the equivalent in attofarads. For example, 5 PF × 1.000000e+33 = 5.000000e+33 aF.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e+33 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert attofarads back to petafarads?
Yes. Divide the attofarad value by 1.000000e+33, or multiply it by 1.000000e-33, to get petafarads.
