How to convert capacitance units
Farads, microfarads, nanofarads and picofarads for capacitors, plus CGS units. Every conversion goes through one base unit, the farad, using exact factors, so results don’t drift.
Microfarads to nanofarads (µF to nF)
To convert microfarads to nanofarads, multiply by 1,000. 1 microfarad = 1,000 nanofarads.
| µF | nF |
|---|---|
| 1 µF | 1,000 nF |
| 2 µF | 2,000 nF |
| 5 µF | 5,000 nF |
| 10 µF | 10,000 nF |
| 20 µF | 20,000 nF |
| 50 µF | 50,000 nF |
| 100 µF | 100,000 nF |
Nanofarads to microfarads (nF to µF)
To convert nanofarads to microfarads, divide by 1,000. 1 nanofarad = 0.001 microfarads.
| nF | µF |
|---|---|
| 1 nF | 0.001 µF |
| 2 nF | 0.002 µF |
| 5 nF | 0.005 µF |
| 10 nF | 0.01 µF |
| 20 nF | 0.02 µF |
| 50 nF | 0.05 µF |
| 100 nF | 0.1 µF |
Nanofarads to picofarads (nF to pF)
To convert nanofarads to picofarads, multiply by 1,000. 1 nanofarad = 1,000 picofarads.
Picofarads to nanofarads (pF to nF)
To convert picofarads to nanofarads, divide by 1,000. 1 picofarad = 0.001 nanofarads.
