Convert Millifarad to Abfarad
Type the number of millifarads that you wish to convert to abfarads.
How to Convert Millifarads to Abfarads
The millifarad and abfarad are both units of capacitance. By definition, 1 abfarad equals exactly 1000 millifarads. This means to convert millifarads to abfarads, you divide by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 mF to abfarads:
We need to convert millifarads to abfarads
Since 1 abF = 1000 mF, divide by 1000
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 mF = 0.005 abF

About These Units
Millifarad (mF)
A millifarad (mF) equals 0.001 farads or 1,000 microfarads. Found in large electrolytic capacitors for power supplies, audio equipment, and motor start capacitors. Supercapacitors range from 0.1 to 5,000+ mF. Also written as 1000 µF.
Abfarad (abF)
An abfarad (abF) is the CGS electromagnetic unit of capacitance equal to 10⁹ farads or 1 gigafarad. An impractically large unit; 1 farad = 10⁻⁹ abfarads. Found only in historical CGS electromagnetic system calculations.
