What is a decifarad (dF)?

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

What is a femtofarad (fF)?

A femtofarad is a unit of electrostatic capacitance equal to 10^-15 farads, used to measure extremely small amounts of capacitance typical in microelectronics.
