How to Convert Microfarads to Nanofarads
Joe is the creator of Inch Calculator and has over 20 years of experience in engineering and construction. He holds several degrees and certifications.
To convert a measurement in microfarads to a measurement in nanofarads, multiply the capacitance by the following conversion ratio: 1,000 nanofarads/microfarad.
Since one microfarad is equal to 1,000 nanofarads, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The capacitance in nanofarads is equal to the capacitance in microfarads multiplied by 1,000.
How Many Nanofarads Are in a Microfarad?
There are 1,000 nanofarads in a microfarad, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 μF = 1,000 nF
Microfarads and nanofarads are both units used to measure capacitance. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What 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.
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.

What is a Nanofarad?
The nanofarad is 1/1,000,000,000 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.
The nanofarad is a multiple of the farad, which is the SI derived unit for capacitance. In the metric system, "nano" is the prefix for billionths, or 10-9. Nanofarads can be abbreviated as nF; for example, 1 nanofarad can be written as 1 nF.
