Picofarad to Nanofarad Converter

1 Picofarad equals 0.001 Nanofarads (nF). 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. Use the converter below to change any picofarads value into nanofarads instantly.

Frequently asked questions

How many Nanofarads are in a Picofarad?

1 Picofarad equals 0.001 Nanofarads.

How do you convert Picofarads to Nanofarads?

Use the formula: Nanofarad = Picofarad × 0.001. For example, 10 Picofarads equals 0.01 Nanofarads.

What is 1 Picofarad in Nanofarads?

1 Picofarad (pF) is equal to 0.001 Nanofarads (nF).

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.
