Unit pF
Name picofarad
Category Capacitance
Details In the field of electronics and electromagnetism, capacitance is a measure of a capacitor's ability to store electrical energy in an electric field. The unit of capacitance is the farad (F), named after the English physicist Michael Faraday.

A petafarad (PF) is a unit of capacitance equal to 10^15 farads. The prefix "peta" indicates a factor of 10^15, or a quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000). This unit is rarely used in practical applications because it represents an extremely large capacitance value which is rarely encountered in everyday electronics or electrical systems.
