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.
Nanofarad
One nanofarad is equal to one billionth of a farad (1e-9 farads).
History: Nanofarads are common in signal and timing circuits.
Current use: Used for ceramic capacitors, filters, oscillators, and electronics design.
Also written as nF.
