Why convert terafarads to microfarads?

To relate extremely large theoretical capacitance values to more commonly used units in electronics for comparison or educational clarity.

A terafarad (TF) is a unit of capacitance equal to 10ⁱ⁲ farads, useful mostly in large-scale or theoretical contexts rather than everyday electronics.

Are terafarad capacitors available in practical circuits?

No, capacitors with capacitance in the terafarad range do not currently exist physically, so this unit is mainly for theoretical or simulation use.
