This guide helps you easily convert between various capacitance units. Here’s a brief overview of each unit:
The farad is the SI unit of capacitance. It represents the capacitance of a capacitor that, when charged with one coulomb of electric charge, results in a potential difference of one volt across its plates.
1 F = 1 Coulomb/Volt (C/V)
The millifarad is a subunit of the farad, used for measuring smaller capacitances.
1 mF = 0.001 F
The microfarad is a smaller subunit of the farad, useful for very small capacitances commonly found in electronic circuits.
1 µF = 1 × 10^-6 F
The nanofarad is used for extremely small capacitances.
1 nF = 1 × 10^-9 F
The picofarad is a unit used for very small capacitances, often in high-frequency circuits.
1 pF = 1 × 10^-12 F
The kilofarad is used for measuring larger capacitances.
1 kF = 1000 F
The megafarad is used for very large capacitances.
1 MF = 1 × 10^6 F
The gigafarad is used for extremely large capacitances.
1 GF = 1 × 10^9 F
The abfarad is a CGS unit used for very small capacitances.
1 abF = 1 × 10^-9 F
These conversions are useful in various fields including electronics and electrical engineering. Ensure to use the appropriate unit based on the scale of capacitance you are working with.
