Conversion Formula
The formula to convert microfarad to farad is simple: divide the microfarad value by 1,000,000. This works because 1 microfarad equals 1/1,000,000 of a farad. For example, if you have 50 microfarad, dividing 50 by 1,000,000 results in 0.00005 farad. This mathematical operation scales the capacitance from micro to standard units.
Conversion Example
- Convert 25 microfarad to farad:
- Step 1: Write down the microfarad value: 25
- Step 2: Divide 25 by 1,000,000: 25 / 1,000,000 = 0.000025
- Step 3: Result is 0.000025 farad.
- Convert 100 microfarad to farad:
- Step 1: Take the microfarad value: 100
- Step 2: Divide 100 by 1,000,000: 100 / 1,000,000 = 0.0001
- Step 3: The capacitance in farad is 0.0001.
- Convert 5 microfarad to farad:
- Step 1: Note the value: 5
- Step 2: Divide 5 by 1,000,000: 5 / 1,000,000 = 0.000005
- Step 3: The result is 0.000005 farad.

Conversion Definitions
Microfarad
The microfarad (μF) is a unit of capacitance equal to one-millionth of a farad, used to measure small capacitors in electronics, where the value indicates how much electric charge the capacitor can hold at a given voltage.
Farad
The farad (F) is the SI base unit of capacitance, representing the ability of a capacitor to store electric charge per unit voltage, with 1 farad being a very large capacitance, more suitable for large electrical components or theoretical calculations.
Conversion FAQs
Why is microfarad divided by 1,000,000 to get farad?
This division is necessary because 1 microfarad equals one-millionth of a farad. Dividing the microfarad value by 1,000,000 converts it into the standard SI unit, farad, which measures larger capacitances.
Can I convert microfarad to farad without a calculator?
Yes, by simply moving the decimal point six places to the left, you can convert microfarad to farad manually. For example, 12 microfarad becomes 0.000012 farad.
What happens if I input a negative microfarad value in the tool?
Technically, capacitance cannot be negative, but the tool will still perform the division and give a negative result, which has no physical meaning. It’s best to input positive values only for practical purposes.
Is the conversion same for all types of capacitors?
Yes, regardless of the capacitor type, capacitance measurement in microfarad or farad remains consistent, so the conversion formula applies universally for any capacitor value.
