Frequently asked questions

What does the Capacitance Conversion calculate?

Capacitance units use powers of ten: milli = 10^-3, micro = 10^-6, nano = 10^-9, and pico = 10^-12 of a farad.

Which values should I enter?

Enter Value, From unit, To unit using the units and format shown beside each field.

What formula does this calculator use?

The calculator uses the following relationship: 1 F = 1,000 mF = 1,000,000 µF = 1,000,000,000 nF = 1,000,000,000,000 pF.

Why might my result differ from another source?

Results can differ when another source uses different units, rounding rules, conventions or assumptions. Compare the inputs and definitions before comparing results.

Does the result update automatically?

Yes. Changing an input updates the result using the same calculation engine shown on this page.
