How the formula works
Both nanofarad and farad measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in nanofarads by 1.000000e-09 to get farads. To reverse the conversion, multiply a farad value by 1.000000e+09 to get back to nanofarads.
Frequently asked questions
What is Nanofarad (nF)?
A Nanofarad (nF) equals 1e-09 farad(s), a scaled unit of capacitance used for nano-scale electrical work.
What is Farad (F)?
The farad (F) is the SI unit of capacitance, measuring a capacitor's ability to store electric charge per volt.
How do I convert nanofarads to farads?
Multiply the nanofarad value by 1.000000e-09 to get the equivalent in farads. For example, 5 nF × 1.000000e-09 = 5.000000e-09 F.
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 farads back to nanofarads?
Yes. Divide the farad value by 1.000000e-09, or multiply it by 1.000000e+09, to get nanofarads.
