A terafarad (TF) is an SI-derived unit of electrical capacitance equal to 10^12 farads, often used for extremely large or theoretical capacitance values.

When would I use centifarads?

Centifarads (cF) are used for relatively large capacitances such as in power supplies, energy-storage modules, and filtering circuits requiring larger capacitive values.

How is the conversion rate from TF to cF calculated?

1 terafarad equals 100000000000000 centifarads, reflecting the difference in scale between the units.
