An abfarad (abF) is a capacitance unit used in the electromagnetic variant of the cgs system, mostly found in older or theoretical electromagnetism references.

Why convert abfarad to petafarad?

Conversions allow comparison of historical or theoretical capacitance values in cgs-emu units to extremely large SI-scale units used in astrophysics and geophysical simulations.

Is the petafarad a common unit?

Petafarad (PF) is an SI-derived unit representing very large capacitance values, mainly used in specialized scientific fields rather than everyday applications.
