Electrostatic Capacitance Converter
Capacitance is the ability to store electric charge for a given voltage. The SI unit is the farad (F), one coulomb per volt. Real components are usually rated in microfarads, nanofarads or picofarads.
1 Microfarad = 1,000 Nanofarad
How to convert Microfarad to Nanofarad
One Microfarad equals 1,000 Nanofarad, so multiply any value in µF by 1,000 to get nF. To convert back, divide by 1,000 — or multiply by 0.001.
nF = µF × 1,000
Example: 25 µF × 1,000 = 25,000 nF.
