Formula
Formula
F = μF × 1e-6
Multiply any value in microfarads by 1e-6 to obtain the value in farads.
Worked example
Convert 1.00000e+6 μF to F.
- 01Start with 1.00000e+6 μF.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 1e-6 = 1 F.
Result1.00000e+6 μF = 1 F

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from μF to F?
1 μF equals 1e-6 F. To convert, multiply the value in microfarads by 1e-6.
How do I convert 1 μF to F?
1 μF = 1e-6 F. For any value, multiply by 1e-6.
How do I convert F back to μF?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000000. So 1 F = 1.00000e+6 μF.
When would I need to convert microfarad to farad?
Capacitance conversions between μF and F 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 μF and F are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
