Microfarad
One microfarad is equal to one millionth of a farad (1e-6 farads).
History: Microfarads became standard for many electronic capacitors.
Current use: Used for electrolytic capacitors, filters, power supplies, and circuits.
Also written as uF.
Picofarad
One picofarad is equal to one trillionth of a farad (1e-12 farads).
History: Picofarads are common for RF, parasitic, and small-signal capacitance.
Current use: Used in RF circuits, sensors, cables, parasitic capacitance, and precision electronics.
Also written as pF.
