Convert the capacitor value from nf to pf, pf to uf using this online capacitor conversion tool. Enter the capacitor value and select the unit to see the converted other two values. This tool is always helpful for my electronic circuit designing and solve the confusion of capacitance value.
How to use this Capacitor value conversion Tool
This capacitor value conversion will takes place automatically when you entered the value. To convert the capacitance units first you need to enter the value in the capacitance entering field and select the unit of entered value using the drop down menu. The Drop down menu shows the units of uf, nF and pF. After proper selection of units the converter values will show at bottom of the converter.
What is Capacitance?
Capacitance is the ability of the capacitor to store charge between two electrical plate in an electrical field. This happens when a potential difference is applied on the plate terminals. The unit for measuring capacitance is Farad (F). Small units of uf, nf and pf also used for easily express the values.
Basic Formula for Capacitance = Charge (Q)/Voltage (V)
✔ In parallel plate capacitor the surface area of plate is increases the capacitance value also increases.
How to Convert Capacitance Units
- 1 Farad (F) = 1,000,000 µF
- 1 µF = 1,000 nF
- 1 nF = 1,000 pF
Always remember this conversion for doing calculations manually. 1 farad is equal to 1000000uf. This is a biggest value and can not easily use. 1uf is equal to 1000nF and 1 nF is equal to 1000pf.
Example calculation: Convert 0.1 µF to nF is 0.1 × 1000 = 100 nF
