Microfarads to Nanofarads Converter
1 microfarad = 1,000 nanofarads
1 microfarad equals 1,000 nanofarads
How to convert microfarads to nanofarads
Capacitance is charge stored per potential difference: 1 F = 1 C/V. The microfarad, nanofarad and picofarad differ by factors of 1000; these unit changes preserve the component’s stated tolerance.
nF = µF × 2000/2One microfarad is 2000/2 nanofarads, so a single multiplication converts any value.
10,000 nF = 10 × 2000/2Microfarads to nanofarads conversion table

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
