Gigafarad
One gigafarad is equal to one billion farads (1e9 farads).
History: SI prefixes provide systematic scaling for very large and very small capacitance values.
Current use: Used for complete conversion coverage, scientific notation, and specialized capacitance references.
Also written as GF.
Farad
Farad measures capacitance, equal to one coulomb per volt.
History: The farad is named after Michael Faraday and is the SI derived unit of capacitance.
Current use: Used for capacitors, electronics, power systems, filters, sensors, and energy storage.
Also written as F.
