Nanofarads to Picofarads

1 nanofarad = 1,000 picofarads · 1 pF = 0.001 nF

1 nanofarad = 1,000 picofarads

How it’s calculated

pF = nF × 1000

  • Multiply the value in nanofarads by 1000.
  • To go back, divide by 1000 (or multiply by 0.001).
  • 1 nF = 1,000 pF · 1 pF = 0.001 nF
Show worked solutionFactor, unit cancellation and rounding, step by step

  1. Find the conversion factor

    By definition 1 nF = 0.000000001 F and 1 pF = 1e-12 F, so 1 nF = 1000 pF. Source: BIPM SI Brochure (9th ed.) (SI prefixes and accepted units).

  2. Multiply by the factor written as a fraction

    Put nF in the denominator so it cancels, leaving pF.

  3. Calculate (unrounded)

  4. Round the answer

    Rounded to 5 significant figures.

Answer: 1000 pF
