| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| nF | Nanofarad |
| F | Farad |
Nanofarads to Farads examples
1 nF
1 nF × 1×10⁻⁹ = 1×10⁻⁹ F.
10 nF
10 nF × 1×10⁻⁹ = 1×10⁻⁸ F.
100 nF
100 nF × 1×10⁻⁹ = 1×10⁻⁷ F.
Nanofarads compared with Farads
One F is 1,000,000,000 times as large as one nF, so your number gets smaller when you convert nanofarads to farads and bigger when you convert back. If the answer is not smaller than what you typed, you multiplied instead of dividing.
About nanofarads and farads
Nanofarad (nF): Nanofarad, 1×10⁻⁹ F. Farad (F): The farad, the SI unit of capacitance.
How to calculate Nanofarads to Farads step by step
- Enter the value in nF (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 1×10⁻⁹, because 1 nF = 1×10⁻⁹ F.
- The product is the value in F. To go back, divide by 1×10⁻⁹ or multiply by 1,000,000,000.
