Convert μF to F
Type the number of microfarads that you wish to convert to farads.
How to Convert Microfarads to Farads
The microfarad and farad are both units of capacitance. By definition, 1 farad equals exactly 1000000 microfarads. This means to convert microfarads to farads, you divide by 1000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 μF to farads:
We need to convert microfarads to farads
Since 1 F = 1000000 μF, divide by 1000000
5 ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6
5 μF = 5e-6 F

About These Units
Microfarad (μF)
A microfarad (μF) equals 10⁻⁶ farads or 1,000 nanofarads. The most common capacitor unit for electrolytic capacitors (1-10,000 μF), coupling capacitors, and filter circuits. Power supply capacitors typically use 100-4700 μF. Also written as uF or MFD.
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).
