Microfarads to Nanofarads

1 microfarad = 1,000 nanofarads · 1 nF = 0.001 µF

1 microfarad = 1,000 nanofarads

How it’s calculated

nF = µF × 1000

  • Multiply the value in microfarads by 1000.
  • To go back, divide by 1000 (or multiply by 0.001).
  • 1 µF = 1,000 nF · 1 nF = 0.001 µF

  1. Find the conversion factor

    By definition 1 µF = 0.000001 F and 1 nF = 0.000000001 F, so 1 µF = 1000 nF. Source: BIPM SI Brochure (9th ed.) (SI prefixes and accepted units).

  2. Multiply by the factor written as a fraction

    Put µF in the denominator so it cancels, leaving nF.

  3. Calculate (unrounded)

  4. Round the answer

    Rounded to 5 significant figures.

Answer: 1000 nF
