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

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
How do I convert farads to nanofarads?
To convert from farads to nanofarads, you multiply the capacitance in farads by 1,000,000,000. For example, 0.0000001 F is equal to 0.0000001 * 1,000,000,000 = 100 nF.
