A picofarad is one trillionth (10^-12) of a farad. A microfarad is 10^-6. Multiply your picofarads by 10^-6 to get microfarads.
100 microfarads = -- 100,000,000 picofarads -- 100,000 nanofarads -- 0.1 millifarad -- 0.0001 farad
The Farad is used to measure capacitance. Most small electronic capacitors are in microFarads(uF) or picoFarads (pF). The unit is name after Michael Faraday, the English chemist and physicist.
The capacitance of a capacitor is represented by the first two digits (47) followed by the number of zeros in the third digit (3) which gives 47000 picofarads (pF). To convert picofarads (pF) to kilofarads (K), you divide by 1,000,000, so in kilofarads the capacitance of 2A473J would be 0.047 K.
The standard unit of capacitance is Farad which indicates the ability of the capacitor to hold an electric charge. Most capacitor values we encounter in households electronics or computers are expressed in farads, microfarads (µF) which is 10 to power of -6 and nanofarads (nF) 10 to power of minus 9.
Capacitors in series are like resistors in parallel.CSERIES = C1 C2 / ( C1 + C2 )Plug 22 and 45 into that equation and you get about 15 microfarads.
The unit for capacitance is the Farad, spelled with a capital F, as it was named for a person. The Farad is a huge unit for capacitance for the electronics in use today, so most capacitors are sized in microFarads and micromicroFarads, which these days is called picoFarads.
A Farad (from Michael Faraday) is the basic unit for capacitance, and a 1 Farad capacitor has a voltage of 1 v across it when the stored charge is 1 coulomb. Most capacitors used in electronics have their capacitance measured in microfarads (10-6 F) or even picofarads (10-12 F).
A capacitor meter measures the value of a capacitor in pf (picofarads), nf (nanofarads), uf (microfarads) or even farads. There are a million uf in a farad, 1000 nf in a uf, and 1000 pf in a nf. A farad is a very large amount of capacity. The capacity tells you how much energy the capacitor can store from a voltage source.
usually yes. what is it being used for?
An air variable capacitor might have a range of a few picofarads (high voltage units) to several hundred picofarads (in an old AM radio).
Do it yourself. The equation is Xc = 1 / (2 pi f C). Be sure to convert microfarads to farards, first!
Capacitance is measured in farads (F), named after the scientist Michael Faraday. Smaller units like microfarads (μF) and picofarads (pF) are commonly used in practice due to the typically small values of capacitance in most electronic applications.
