How the formula works
Both microfarad and centifarad measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in microfarads by 0.0001 to get centifarads. To reverse the conversion, multiply a centifarad value by 10000 to get back to microfarads.
Frequently asked questions
What is Microfarad (uF)?
A Microfarad (uF) equals 1e-06 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for micro-scale electrical work.
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 microfarads to centifarads?
Multiply the microfarad value by 0.0001 to get the equivalent in centifarads. For example, 5 uF × 0.0001 = 0.0005 cF.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.0001 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert centifarads back to microfarads?
Yes. Divide the centifarad value by 0.0001, or multiply it by 10000, to get microfarads.
