Formula notes
1 F = 1000 mF = 1,000,000 uF = 1,000,000,000 nF = 1,000,000,000,000 pF.
Worked examples
- Example: 1 microfarad equals 1000 nanofarads or 1,000,000 picofarads.
- 1 microfarad equals 1000 nanofarads or 1,000,000 picofarads.
How to use it
- Enter a capacitance value in any of the five input fields.
- The converter uses the first non-empty field as the base.
- Read all five capacitance units simultaneously.
Frequently asked questions
What is the base unit?
The farad (F) is the base unit; all other units are powers of ten relative to it.
Can I enter picofarads directly?
Yes. Enter the value in the picofarads field and the converter will display farads, millifarads, microfarads, and nanofarads.
Limits and interpretation
- All conversions use exact powers of ten relative to the farad.
- Any of the five input fields can be used; the converter uses the first non-empty one.
