How the formula works
Both picofarad and farad measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in picofarads by 1.000000e-12 to get farads. To reverse the conversion, multiply a farad value by 1.000000e+12 to get back to picofarads.
Frequently asked questions
What is Picofarad (pF)?
A Picofarad (pF) equals 1e-12 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for pico-scale electrical work.
What is Farad (F)?
The farad (F) is the SI unit of capacitance, measuring a capacitor's ability to store electric charge per volt.
How do I convert picofarads to farads?
Multiply the picofarad value by 1.000000e-12 to get the equivalent in farads. For example, 5 pF × 1.000000e-12 = 5.000000e-12 F.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e-12 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert farads back to picofarads?
Yes. Divide the farad value by 1.000000e-12, or multiply it by 1.000000e+12, to get picofarads.
