Microfarads to Farads Converter

Convert microfarads to farads and back, with millifarads, nanofarads and picofarads shown alongside.

What this tool does

Convert microfarads to farads and back, with millifarads, nanofarads and picofarads shown alongside. Type an amount in microfarads, choose the units, and the tool converts it to farads. It offers 5 capacitance units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one: Farad, Millifarad, Microfarad, Nanofarad, Picofarad. Starts as Microfarad.
  • To: Choose one of the same 5 units as "From". Starts as Farad.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from microfarads to farads:

  • 1 µF = 0.000001 F
  • 5 µF = 0.000005 F
  • 10 µF = 0.00001 F
  • 50 µF = 0.00005 F
  • 100 µF = 0.0001 F

Multiply the number of microfarads by 0.000001 to get farads. Both units are exact definitions, so 0.000001 is the exact factor: 1 µF = 0.000001 F.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of a capacitance only. It does not work out capacitance from plate area, spacing or dielectric, and it does not combine capacitors in series or parallel.

FAQs

Q: How do I convert microfarads to farads?
A: Divide by 1,000,000. One microfarad is 0.000001 farad.
Q: How do I convert farads to microfarads?
A: Multiply by 1,000,000. One farad is 1,000,000 microfarads.
Q: Can I convert other capacitance units too?
A: Yes. The From and To boxes also offer millifarads, nanofarads and picofarads.
