How to Convert Farads to Nanofarads
To convert from farads (F) to nanofarads (nF), you multiply the capacitance in farads by 1,000,000,000. For more information about farads as a unit of measurement, visit our farads page.
Formula
Nanofarads = Farads × 1,000,000,000
or
nF = F × 1,000,000,000
Examples
- 0.000000001 F = 0.000000001 × 1,000,000,000 = 1 nF
- 0.00000001 F = 0.00000001 × 1,000,000,000 = 10 nF
- 0.0000001 F = 0.0000001 × 1,000,000,000 = 100 nF
- 0.000001 F = 0.000001 × 1,000,000,000 = 1,000 nF

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a farad (F)?
The farad is the SI unit of electrical capacitance, defined as one coulomb per volt. It represents the ability of a body to store an electric charge.
What is a nanofarad (nF)?
A nanofarad is a unit of capacitance equal to one billionth (10⁻⁹) of a farad. It is a commonly used unit for practical capacitors.
How do I convert nanofarads to farads?
To convert from nanofarads to farads, you divide the capacitance in nanofarads by 1,000,000,000. For example, 100 nF is equal to 100 / 1,000,000,000 = 0.0000001 F.
