What is a decifarad (dF)?

A decifarad is an SI-derived electrostatic capacitance unit equal to one tenth of a farad, commonly used for relatively large capacitances such as 0.1 F supercapacitors.

How many farads are in a megafarad (MF)?

A megafarad equals one million farads (10^6 F), used to quantify extremely large capacitance values.

Why convert from decifarad to megafarad?

Converting enables expressing capacitances at vastly different scales, useful in engineering calculations involving very large or theoretical capacitor values.
