How the formula works
Both centifarad and gigafarad measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in centifarads by 1.000000e-11 to get gigafarads. To reverse the conversion, multiply a gigafarad value by 1.000000e+11 to get back to centifarads.
Frequently asked questions
What is Centifarad (cF)?
A Centifarad (cF) equals 1/100 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for centi-scale electrical work.
What is Gigafarad (GF)?
A Gigafarad (GF) equals 1e+9 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for giga-scale electrical work.
How do I convert centifarads to gigafarads?
Multiply the centifarad value by 1.000000e-11 to get the equivalent in gigafarads. For example, 5 cF × 1.000000e-11 = 5.000000e-11 GF.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e-11 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert gigafarads back to centifarads?
Yes. Divide the gigafarad value by 1.000000e-11, or multiply it by 1.000000e+11, to get centifarads.
