Millifarad Converters

Convert millifarads to farads, microfarads, nanofarads, picofarads and other capacitance units.

What this tool does

Convert millifarads to farads, microfarads, nanofarads, picofarads and other capacitance units. Type an amount in millifarads, choose the units, and the tool converts it to farads. It offers 8 capacitance units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one: Farad, Millifarad, Microfarad, Nanofarad, Picofarad, Femtofarad, Abfarad (EMU of capacitance), Statfarad (ESU of capacitance). Starts as Millifarad.
  • To: Choose one of the same 8 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 millifarads to farads:

  • 1 mF = 0.001 F
  • 5 mF = 0.005 F
  • 10 mF = 0.01 F
  • 50 mF = 0.05 F
  • 100 mF = 0.1 F

Multiply the number of millifarads by 0.001 to get farads. Both units are exact definitions, so 0.001 is the exact factor: 1 mF = 0.001 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.
  • Abfarad and statfarad are historical CGS units, listed for completeness.

FAQs
