An exafarad (EF) is an SI-derived electrostatic capacitance unit equal to 10^18 farads, used mainly for extremely large or theoretical capacitances.

When would I use centifarads?

Centifarads (cF), equal to 0.01 farads, are used in engineering for large capacitances such as bulk smoothing capacitors and energy storage modules.

Why convert from exafarad to centifarad?

Converting from exafarad to centifarad helps express large, theoretical capacitance values in a unit more common for engineering and practical applications.
