Nanofarads to Farads Converter

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

What this tool does

Convert nanofarads to farads and back, with millifarads, microfarads and picofarads shown alongside. Type an amount in nanofarads, 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 Nanofarad.
  • 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 nanofarads to farads:

  • 1 nF = 0.000000001 F
  • 5 nF = 0.000000005 F
  • 10 nF = 0.00000001 F
  • 50 nF = 0.00000005 F
  • 100 nF = 0.0000001 F

Multiply the number of nanofarads by 0.000000001 to get farads. Both units are exact definitions, so 0.000000001 is the exact factor: 1 nF = 0.000000001 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 nanofarads to farads?
A: Divide by 1,000,000,000. One nanofarad is 0.000000001 farad (10⁻⁹ F).
Q: How do I convert farads to nanofarads?
A: Multiply by 1,000,000,000. One farad is 1,000,000,000 nanofarads.
Q: Can I convert other capacitance units too?
A: Yes. The From and To boxes also offer millifarads, microfarads and picofarads.
