Microfarads to nanofarads
Type a value in µF to get it in nF instantly.
100,000nF
That's about the same as an electrolytic capacitor. Charged to 5 V it stores about 1.25 mJ.
Convert the other way: nF to µF
What it means
What is that component?
Stored energy is shown at 5 V, from E = ½CV².
The math
How to convert µF to nF
To convert microfarads to nanofarads, multiply by 1,000.
Example: 100 µF × 1,000 = 100,000 nF.
In the other direction, 1 nF = 0.001 µF.
