Hello, A microfarad is shortened to uF and is equal to 10^-6 farad. A nanofarad (nF) is equal to 10^-9 farad. A uF is 1,000 times larger than a nF, so converting from uF to nF means moving the decimal point three places to the right. So, 0.053 uF is the same as 53 nF, and 0.0053 uF is the same as 5.3 nF. A nF is 1,000 times larger than a picofarad (pF). A pF is 10^-12 farad. Hope this helped! Best regards, -- Bert --
: Hello again!
: I know this sounds stupid, but could you please tell me about the
: different units of capacitance? My tank cap should ideally be 0.053 uF.
: How do you say uF & nF (like 'kilometer' for km), and what in the
: unit of microfarads? I need to know this coz in India, everyone sells
: caps by MFDs (microfarads). The dealers can't even tell me about the
: different units!!
: Sorry for bothering you again; but this is a real bug!
: Thanks
