About capacitance units
Convert farads, microfarads, nanofarads, picofarads and statfarads.
Real capacitors span twelve orders of magnitude, from picofarad trimmers to supercapacitors measured in farads. The µF/nF/pF triangle is where most mistakes happen.
Dimensional formula: M⁻¹ L⁻² T⁴ I². Every conversion on this page goes through the farad, using exact fractions rather than decimal approximations. Read how that works →
