Picofarads to nanofarads
Type a value in pF to get it in nF instantly.
0.1nF
That's 100× as big as stray circuit capacitance, while a ceramic capacitor is 1,000× bigger. Charged to 5 V it stores about 1.25×10⁻⁶ mJ.
Convert the other way: nF to pF
What it means
What is that component?
Stored energy is shown at 5 V, from E = ½CV².
The math
How to convert pF to nF
To convert picofarads to nanofarads, multiply by 0.001.
Example: 100 pF × 0.001 = 0.1 nF.
In the other direction, 1 nF = 1,000 pF.
