There are 1000 nanofarads in 1 microfarads. Exactly 1 µF is equal to 1000 nF.
The conversion formula is: Nanofarad = nF = µF × 1000. Applying this to 1 µF gives: 1 × 1000 = 1000 nF.
To convert in reverse from nanofarads to microfarads, multiply by the inverse factor: 1 nF = 0.001 µF. Alternatively, divide your Nanofarad amount by 1000.
Multiply by 1,000 for a quick rough calculation (move the decimal point 3 places to the right).
Microfarad (µF) belongs to the Metric (SI) system, commonly used in Electrolytic power supply smoothing, Audio crossover capacitors, Motor run capacitors. In comparison, Nanofarad (nF) is part of the Metric (SI) system, frequently applied in Audio tone filters, Film capacitors, Bypass filtering.
