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.
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.
