Capacitance Conversions
In electromagnetism and electronics, capacitance is the ability of a body to hold an electrical charge. Capacitance is also a measure of the amount of electric charge stored (or separated) for a given electric potential. A common form of charge storage device is a two-plate capacitor. - Wikipedia

Standard unit = Farad (F)
| abfarad | farad | microfarad | statfarad | |
| 1 abF = | 1 | 109 | 1015 | 8.987*1020 |
| 1 F = | 10-9 | 1 | 106 | 8.987*1011 |
| 1 mF = | 10-15 | 10-6 | 1 | 105 |
| 1 statF = | 1.113*10-21 | 1.113*10-12 | 1.113*10-6 | 1 |
Note: The prefix "ab" is used to indicate an electromagnetic unit in the centimeter-gram-second system.
The prefix "stat" is used to indicate an electrical unit in the electrostatic centimeter-gram-second system of units.
