How many microfarads are equivalent to 1,000,000 picofarads?

0.1 microfarads
1 microfarad
10 microfarads
100 microfarads

The correct answer is: 1 microfarad

To understand the conversion from picofarads to microfarads, it's important to know the relationships between different units of capacitance. 1 microfarad (µF) is equal to 1,000,000 picofarads (pF). This means that when you have 1,000,000 picofarads, you can convert this directly to microfarads by recognizing that 1,000,000 pF is equal to 1 µF. Therefore, when asked how many microfarads are equivalent to 1,000,000 picofarads, the answer is straightforward: it is exactly 1 microfarad. This reflects the basic understanding of how these two capacitance units relate to each other in the metric system.
