About Converting Nanofarads to Femtofarads
Nanofarad and Femtofarad 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: Nanofarad is 1e-9 farad units, and femtofarad is 1e-15 farad units.
Formula
femtofarads = nanofarads × 1000000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 nanofarad equals 1e-9 base units, and 1 femtofarad equals 1e-15 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct nanofarad-to-femtofarad factor of 1000000.
Simple example
1 nF × 1000000 = 1,000,000 fF
1 nanofarad = 1,000,000 femtofarads.
Real-world example
120 nF × 1000000 = 120,000,000 fF
120 nanofarads = 120,000,000 femtofarads.
Conversion table
| Nanofarad (nF) | Femtofarad (fF) |
|---|---|
| 1 nF | 1,000,000 fF |
| 5 nF | 5,000,000 fF |
| 12 nF | 12,000,000 fF |
| 24 nF | 24,000,000 fF |
| 120 nF | 120,000,000 fF |
| 240 nF | 240,000,000 fF |
Reverse conversion: Femtofarad to Nanofarad
1 fF × 0.000001 = 0.000001 nF
1 femtofarad = 0.000001 nanofarads.
nanofarads = femtofarads × 0.000001

Frequently asked questions
How many femtofarads are in 1 nanofarad?
1 nanofarad equals 1,000,000 femtofarads, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert nanofarad to femtofarad?
Multiply the nanofarad value by 1000000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert femtofarad back to nanofarad?
Use the reverse factor: 1 femtofarad equals 0.000001 nanofarads. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a nanofarad?
Nanofarad (nF) is a unit of electricity.
What is a femtofarad?
Femtofarad (fF) is a unit of electricity.
Is the nanofarad to femtofarad conversion exact?
Yes. Both nanofarad and femtofarad are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1000000 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.
