What Is a Microfarad?

A microfarad is a unit used to measure capacitance.

The microfarad is a multiple of the farad, which is the SI derived unit for capacitance. In the metric system, "micro" is the prefix for millionths, or 10^-6. Microfarads can be abbreviated as μF; for example, 1 microfarad can be written as 1 μF.

Uses

The microfarad is commonly used to measure capacitance in AC and audio frequency circuits. It is common to find capacitors that are 0.01 µF to 100 µF for use in these circuits.

How Much Is a Microfarad?

The microfarad is 1/1,000,000 of a farad, which is the capacitance of a capacitor with a potential difference of one volt when it is charged by one coulomb of electricity.

How to Convert Microfarads

To convert microfarads to another unit of capacitance, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.^[1]

You can find the conversion factors for microfarads in the conversion table below.

Then, multiply the capacitance measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.

microfarads × conversion factor = result

You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
