Reference

How capacitance conversion works

Capacitance is stored charge per unit potential difference. Electronics commonly spans many powers of ten, making prefix identification especially important.

Values are converted to farad first, then from that reference into the requested unit. Keeping a single documented reference reduces inconsistent pair-by-pair constants.

Accuracy note: All SI prefix relationships are exact.
