farad to gigafarad
Please provide values below to convert farad [F] to gigafarad [GF], or change ↔.
farad [F]
Definition: The SI unit of capacitance, defined as the amount of capacitance that allows one coulomb of charge to build up with one volt of electrical potential difference.
Historyandorigin: Named after Michael Faraday, the farad is the standard unit used to measure capacitance in electrical circuits.
CurrentUse: The farad is used in modern electronics to describe the capacitance of capacitors, a key component in storing and releasing electrical charge.
funfact: The farad is a very large unit, so capacitors in most devices are measured in microfarads (µF) or picofarads (pF) for practical purposes!
gigafarad [GF]
Definition: A unit of capacitance equal to 10^9 farads, still very large but potentially useful in certain scientific contexts.
Historyandorigin: Gigafarad is used in the context of extremely high capacitances, often in research rather than practical circuits.
CurrentUse: Mostly theoretical, this unit is part of the scientific community's scaling system to measure extremely high levels of capacitance.
funfact: The gigafarad would be useful in experiments dealing with massive energy storage and theoretical models of energy transfer!

How to Convert farad to gigafarad
1 farad [F] = 1.E-9 gigafarad [GF]
1 gigafarad [GF] = 1000000000 farad [F]
we use cross multiplication method
farad [F] → gigafarad [GF]
1 → 1.E-9
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.E-9=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.5E-9
