How to convert units in general

Conversions can be done either with the "->" conversion operator or with the equivalent "convert" function. The function has three parameters: a quantity, a unit to convert from and a unit to convert to. Likewise the conversion operator uses three values: the quantity and unit to convert from are placed on the left side of the operator while the unit to convert to goes to the right side.

Electric Capacitance Units

The basic unit of electric capacitance is the farad. All units of electric capacitance are expressed in terms of this base unit and so measurements can be converted from any one of the following units to any other.

abFarad
gigafarad, CGS unit: 1e+9 farad
farad
Basic unit of electric capacitance (coulomb / volt): 1 farad
jar
capacitance of a Leiden jar: 1.1111111e-9 farad
puff
picofarad: 1e-13 farad
statFarad
CGS electrostatic unit: 1.1126501e-12 farad

Sample Conversions of Electric Capacitance Units

Convert farad to abFarad

10 farad -> abFarad = 1e-8

convert(10; farad; abFarad) = 1e-8

Convert farad to jar (capacitance of a Leiden jar)

10 farad -> jar = 9e+9

convert(10; farad; jar) = 9e+9

Convert statarad to farad

10 statFarad -> farad = 1.1126501e-11

convert(10; statFarad; farad) = 1.1126501e-11

Convert statarad to picoFarad

10 statFarad -> puff = 11.126501

convert(10; statFarad; picoFarad) = 11.126501
