How the formula works
Both farad and centifarad measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in farads by 100 to get centifarads. To reverse the conversion, multiply a centifarad value by 0.01 to get back to farads.
Frequently asked questions
What is Farad (F)?
The farad (F) is the SI unit of capacitance, measuring a capacitor's ability to store electric charge per volt.
What is Centifarad (cF)?
A Centifarad (cF) equals 1/100 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for centi-scale electrical work.
How do I convert farads to centifarads?
Multiply the farad value by 100 to get the equivalent in centifarads. For example, 5 F × 100 = 500 cF.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 100 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert centifarads back to farads?
Yes. Divide the centifarad value by 100, or multiply it by 0.01, to get farads.
