Converting pF (picoFarads) to µF (microFarads)
Since pF means ~1 \times 10^{-12}\text{F}~ and µF means ~1 \times 10^{-6}\text{F}~, move the decimal point from the pico-Farads value 6 places to the left to get the value in micro-Farads
$$22000\text{pF} \Rightarrow .022\mu\text{F}$$Other useful conversion factors
Length Conversions | Weight Conversions | Temperature Conversions |
---|---|---|
1 centimeter = 10 millimeters | 1 kilogram = 1000 grams | 0K = -273° C |
2.54 centimeters = 1 inch | 28.35 grams = 1 ounce | 0° C = 32° F |
12 inches = 1 foot | 0.4536 kilograms = 1 pound | 100° C = 212° F |
3 feet = 1 yard | 1 pound = 16 ounces |
Fahrenheit to Celsius
$$C = (F - 32) \times (\frac{5}{9}) = \frac{(F - 32)}{1.8}$$Celsius to Fahrenheit
$$F = \frac{9}{5} \times C = 1.8C + 32$$Note that the information presented in this article is for reference purposes only.
