Convert Picofarad to EMU of Capacitance
Convert picofarads to emu by entering a value below.
How to Convert Picofarads to EMU
The picofarad and emu of capacitance are both units of capacitance. By definition, 1 emu of capacitance equals exactly 1e21 picofarads. This means to convert picofarads to emu, you divide by 1e21.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pF to emu:
We need to convert picofarads to emu
Since 1 emu = 1e21 pF, divide by 1e21
5 ÷ 1e21 = 5e-21
5 pF = 5e-21 emu

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.
EMU of Capacitance (emu)
The EMU (electromagnetic unit) of capacitance is identical to the abfarad, equal to 10⁹ farads. Part of the CGS electromagnetic system. An impractically large unit for any real-world application; used only in historical contexts.
