Convert Farad to EMU of Capacitance

Type the number of farads that you wish to convert to emu.

1 F (farads) = 1e-9 emu (emu)

How to Convert Farads to EMU

The farad and emu of capacitance are both units of capacitance. By definition, 1 emu of capacitance equals exactly 1000000000 farads. This means to convert farads to emu, you divide by 1000000000.

Formula

emu = farads ÷ 1000000000

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 F to emu:

1
Convert 5 F to emu

We need to convert farads to emu

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 emu = 1000000000 F, divide by 1000000000

5 ÷ 1000000000 = 5e-9

Answer

5 F = 5e-9 emu

About These Units

Farad (F)

The farad (F) is the SI unit of electrical capacitance—the ability to store electric charge. One farad is extremely large; practical capacitors range from picofarads to millifarads. Supercapacitors reach 1-5000+ farads. Named after physicist Michael Faraday. Formula: C = Q/V (charge/voltage).

EMU of Capacitance (emu)

The EMU (electromagnetic unit) of capacitance is identical to the abfarad, equal to 10⁹ farads. Part of the CGS electromagnetic system. An impractically large unit for any real-world application; used only in historical contexts.
