nFtofF

Convert nanofarads (nF) to femtofarads (fF).

Factor1 nF = 1000000 fF

Converter

nF

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
1.00000e+6fF

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
fF = nF × 1000000

Multiply any value in nanofarads by 1000000 to obtain the value in femtofarads.

Worked example

Convert 1 nF to fF.

  1. 01Start with 1 nF.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000000 = 1.00000e+6 fF.
Result1 nF = 1.00000e+6 fF

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from nF to fF?
1 nF equals 1000000 fF. To convert, multiply the value in nanofarads by 1000000.
How do I convert 1 nF to fF?
1 nF = 1.00000e+6 fF. For any value, multiply by 1000000.
How do I convert fF back to nF?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-6. So 1 fF = 1e-6 nF.
When would I need to convert nanofarad to femtofarad?
Capacitance conversions between nF and fF 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?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
