What does one femtofarad represent?

One femtofarad equals 10^-15 farads and measures extremely small amounts of electrostatic capacitance.

Where is dekafarad commonly used?

Dekafarad, equal to 10 farads, is used to describe very large capacitances, such as in supercapacitor modules and power systems.

Why are conversions between femtofarads and dekafarads rare?

Because these units differ by 16 orders of magnitude, practical conversions are uncommon and often theoretical.
