About Converting Microfarads to Megafarads
Microfarad and Megafarad both belong to the electricity family — voltage, current, resistance, power, or energy — units that show up constantly when working across the different standards used by household wiring (120V/240V depending on region), automotive electrical systems (12V/24V), and electronics design. Specifically: Microfarad is 0.000001 farad units, and megafarad is 1000000 farad units.
Formula
megafarads = microfarads × 1e-12
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 microfarad equals 0.000001 base units, and 1 megafarad equals 1000000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct microfarad-to-megafarad factor of 1e-12.
Simple example
1 uF × 1e-12 = 1e-12 MF
1 microfarad = 1e-12 megafarads.
Real-world example
120 uF × 1e-12 = 1.2e-10 MF
120 microfarads = 1.2e-10 megafarads.

Reverse conversion: Megafarad to Microfarad
1e-12 MF × 1e+12 = 1 uF
1e-12 megafarads = 1 microfarad.
microfarads = megafarads × 1e+12

Frequently asked questions
How many megafarads are in 1 microfarad?
1 microfarad equals 1e-12 megafarads, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert microfarad to megafarad?
Multiply the microfarad value by 1e-12. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert megafarad back to microfarad?
Use the reverse factor: 1 megafarad equals 1e+12 microfarads. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a microfarad?
Microfarad (uF) is a unit of electricity.
What is a megafarad?
Megafarad (MF) is a unit of electricity.
Is the microfarad to megafarad conversion exact?
Yes. Both microfarad and megafarad are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1e-12 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between voltage, current, and resistance?
Voltage (volts) is the electrical potential difference driving current through a circuit. Current (amperes) is the rate of flow of electric charge. Resistance (ohms) is how much a component opposes that flow. They're related by Ohm's law (V = I × R), but they are distinct physical quantities, and this page converts between units of just one of them.
