What is the relationship between farads and femtofarads?

One farad equals 10^15 femtofarads, making femtofarads used for measuring extremely small capacitance values.

Why convert farads to femtofarads in electronics?

Conversion helps to precisely measure and analyze small capacitances in integrated circuits, RF components, and nanoscale devices.

Are femtofarads suitable for large capacitance values?

No, femtofarads are intended for very small capacitances; converting large farad values creates very large, impractical numbers.
