Nanofarad to Microfarad Converter
1 Nanofarad equals 0.001 Microfarads (µF). Capacitance is measured in farads (F), but a single farad is a very large value. Most capacitors are rated in microfarads (µF), nanofarads (nF), or picofarads (pF). Super-capacitors can reach farads, while radio-frequency (RF) circuits work in the picofarad range.

Frequently asked questions
How many Microfarads are in a Nanofarad?
1 Nanofarad equals 0.001 Microfarads.
How do you convert Nanofarads to Microfarads?
Use the formula: Microfarad = Nanofarad × 0.001. For example, 10 Nanofarads equals 0.01 Microfarads.
What is 1 Nanofarad in Microfarads?
1 Nanofarad (nF) is equal to 0.001 Microfarads (µF).
What is a farad?
The farad (F) is the SI unit of capacitance. A capacitor has a capacitance of one farad when storing one coulomb of charge produces a potential difference of one volt. One farad is an extremely large value — most practical capacitors are in the microfarad (µF, 10⁻⁶ F), nanofarad (nF, 10⁻⁹ F), or picofarad (pF, 10⁻¹² F) range.
1 farad equals how many microfarads?
1 farad (F) = 1,000,000 microfarads (µF) = 1,000 millifarads (mF) = 1,000,000,000 nanofarads (nF) = 1,000,000,000,000 picofarads (pF). A 100 µF electrolytic capacitor — common in power supply circuits — is 0.0001 F.
What capacitance range do common electronic components use?
Ceramic capacitors: 1 pF – 100 µF. Electrolytic capacitors: 1 µF – 100,000 µF. Film capacitors: 1 nF – 100 µF. Super-capacitors (ultra-caps): 0.1 F – thousands of farads. RF and oscillator circuits use picofarad values; audio and power-supply bypass capacitors are in the microfarad range.
