Formula
Formula
μF = F × 1000000
Multiply any value in farads by 1000000 to obtain the value in microfarads.
Worked example
Convert 1 F to μF.
- 01Start with 1 F.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000000 = 1.00000e+6 μF.
Result1 F = 1.00000e+6 μF

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from F to μF?
1 F equals 1000000 μF. To convert, multiply the value in farads by 1000000.
How do I convert 1 F to μF?
1 F = 1.00000e+6 μF. For any value, multiply by 1000000.
How do I convert μF back to F?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-6. So 1 μF = 1e-6 F.
When would I need to convert farad to microfarad?
Capacitance conversions between F and μF are needed in power-factor-correction sizing, filter design, sensor electronics and motor-starter specification. Microfarads dominate power capacitor and motor-run/start applications; nanofarads and picofarads cover decoupling and RF circuit design.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. Both F and μF are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
