Convert Nanofarad to Attofarad
Type the number of nanofarads that you wish to convert to attofarads.
How to Convert Nanofarads to Attofarads
The nanofarad and attofarad are both units of capacitance. By definition, 1 nanofarad equals exactly 1000000000 attofarads. This means to convert nanofarads to attofarads, you multiply by 1000000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 nF to attofarads:
We need to convert nanofarads to attofarads
Since 1 nF = 1000000000 aF, multiply by 1000000000
5 × 1000000000 = 5000000000
5 nF = 5000000000 aF

About These Units
Nanofarad (nF)
A nanofarad (nF) equals 10⁻⁹ farads, 1,000 picofarads, or 0.001 microfarads. Common for ceramic disc capacitors (1-100 nF), film capacitors, and timing circuits. Bypass capacitors often use 100 nF (0.1 μF). One nF = 1000 pF.
Attofarad (aF)
An attofarad (aF) equals 10⁻¹⁸ farads. Used in quantum electronics, single-electron transistors, and nanotechnology. Individual molecule capacitance is measured in attofarads. The capacitance of a single electron transistor island is typically 0.1-10 aF.
