Convert Kilofarads to Abfarads
Convert Kilofarads (kF) to Abfarads (abF) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
abF = kF × 1.000000000e-6
About Kilofarads
The kilofarad (kF) equals 10³ F, reached only by large supercapacitor assemblies for energy buffering. Industrial supercapacitor modules for tram and metro regenerative braking are rated 500-10 000 F = 0.5-10 kF; hybrid-bus energy buffers stack 3 000 F cells to achieve several kilofarads; grid fast-response voltage-stabilisation banks are discussed in the kilofarad range. 1 kF = 10³ F = 10⁻³ MF.
About Abfarads
The abfarad (abF) is the capacitance unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 1 abC / 1 abV = 10 C / 10⁻⁸ V = 10⁹ F, exactly equal to 1 GF in SI. It appeared in nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century electromagnetic engineering texts alongside abohms and abamperes; 1 abF represents the capacitance of a connection storing 10 C at 10 nV. 1 abF = 10⁹ F = 1 GF.
