How the formula works
Both picofarad and petafarad measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in picofarads by 1.000000e-27 to get petafarads. To reverse the conversion, multiply a petafarad value by 1.000000e+27 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 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 picofarads to petafarads?
Multiply the picofarad value by 1.000000e-27 to get the equivalent in petafarads. For example, 5 pF × 1.000000e-27 = 5.000000e-27 PF.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e-27 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert petafarads back to picofarads?
Yes. Divide the petafarad value by 1.000000e-27, or multiply it by 1.000000e+27, to get picofarads.
