How the formula works
Both attofarad and nanofarad measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in attofarads by 1.000000e-09 to get nanofarads. To reverse the conversion, multiply a nanofarad value by 1.000000e+09 to get back to attofarads.
Frequently asked questions
What is Attofarad (aF)?
An Attofarad (aF) equals 1e-18 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for atto-scale electrical work.
What is Nanofarad (nF)?
A Nanofarad (nF) equals 1e-09 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for nano-scale electrical work.
How do I convert attofarads to nanofarads?
Multiply the attofarad value by 1.000000e-09 to get the equivalent in nanofarads. For example, 5 aF × 1.000000e-09 = 5.000000e-09 nF.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e-09 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert nanofarads back to attofarads?
Yes. Divide the nanofarad value by 1.000000e-09, or multiply it by 1.000000e+09, to get attofarads.
