What does one coulomb per volt (C/V) represent?

One coulomb per volt (C/V) is the SI unit of electrostatic capacitance equivalent to one farad, indicating how much charge is stored per unit voltage.

Why convert from coulomb/volt to petafarad?

Conversion simplifies handling extremely large capacitance values in astrophysical or large-scale simulations by scaling them to manageable units.

Are petafarad capacitance values common in electronics?

No, petafarad units describe extremely large capacitances relevant mainly to theoretical or planetary scale models, not common electronic components.
