How to Convert Nanofarads to Microfarads

To convert from nanofarads (nF) to microfarads (µF), you divide the capacitance in nanofarads by 1,000. For more information about nanofarads as a unit of measurement, visit our nanofarads page.

Formula

Microfarads = Nanofarads / 1,000

or

µF = nF / 1,000

Examples

  • 1 nF = 1 / 1,000 = 0.001 µF
  • 10 nF = 10 / 1,000 = 0.01 µF
  • 100 nF = 100 / 1,000 = 0.1 µF
  • 1,000 nF = 1,000 / 1,000 = 1 µF

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 microfarad (µF)?

A microfarad is a unit of capacitance equal to one millionth (10⁻⁶) of a farad. It is a commonly used unit for practical capacitors.

How do I convert microfarads to nanofarads?

To convert from microfarads to nanofarads, you multiply the capacitance in microfarads by 1,000. For example, 0.1 µF is equal to 0.1 * 1,000 = 100 nF.
