Nanofarads to Microfarads

1 nanofarad = 0.001 microfarads · 1 µF = 1,000 nF

1 nanofarad = 0.001 microfarads

How it’s calculated

µF = nF × 0.001

  • Multiply the value in nanofarads by 0.001.
  • To go back, divide by 0.001 (or multiply by 1000).
  • 1 nF = 0.001 µF · 1 µF = 1,000 nF

  1. Find the conversion factor

    By definition 1 nF = 0.000000001 F and 1 µF = 0.000001 F, so 1 µF = 1000 nF. 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 µF.

  3. Calculate (unrounded)

  4. Round the answer

    Rounded to 5 significant figures.

Answer: 0.001 µF
