How to use Capacitance Converter

Enter a capacitance in any field. It converts to farads using the prefix factor, then fills every other unit instantly.

Frequently asked questions

How many picofarads in a nanofarad?

1 nF equals 1000 pF; each step down the prefix ladder multiplies by 1000.

What is the base unit?

The farad (F) is the base; µF, nF and pF are 10⁻⁶, 10⁻⁹ and 10⁻¹² F.

Why are capacitors rated in µF and pF?

One farad is enormous, so real capacitors use microfarads, nanofarads and picofarads.
