What is a decifarad (dF)?

A decifarad is an SI-derived unit of electrostatic capacitance equal to one tenth of a farad, commonly used to express relatively large capacitances.

How does coulomb per volt (C/V) relate to farads?

One coulomb per volt is equivalent to one farad and represents the charge stored per unit potential difference.

Why convert from decifarad to coulomb/volt?

Converting to coulomb/volt expresses capacitance in the base SI unit, useful for precise electronic design and analysis.
