Convert Picofarad to Attofarad
Type the number of picofarads that you wish to convert to attofarads.
How to Convert Picofarads to Attofarads
The picofarad and attofarad are both units of capacitance. By definition, 1 picofarad equals exactly 1000000 attofarads. This means to convert picofarads to attofarads, you multiply by 1000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pF to attofarads:
We need to convert picofarads to attofarads
Since 1 pF = 1000000 aF, multiply by 1000000
5 × 1000000 = 5000000
5 pF = 5000000 aF

About These Units
Picofarad (pF)
A picofarad (pF) equals 10⁻¹² farads or 0.001 nanofarads. Used in RF circuits, tuning capacitors (5-500 pF), oscillator circuits, and high-frequency applications. Ceramic capacitors are commonly rated in pF. Variable capacitors for radio tuning use pF.
Attofarad (aF)
An attofarad (aF) equals 10⁻¹⁸ farads. Used in quantum electronics, single-electron transistors, and nanotechnology. Individual molecule capacitance is measured in attofarads. The capacitance of a single electron transistor island is typically 0.1-10 aF.
