What is a femtofarad?

A femtofarad (fF) is a unit of electrostatic capacitance equal to 10^-15 farads, used to measure very small capacitances in microelectronics and sensor devices.

What does a hectofarad represent?

A hectofarad (hF) equals 100 farads and is used to quantify very large capacitance values typically found in energy storage systems and supercapacitors.

Why convert between femtofarads and hectofarads?

Converting between these units helps compare tiny capacitances in microelectronics to large capacitances in power systems, facilitating analysis across different scales.
