Farad (F) is used as the internal base unit. Every value you enter is first converted to Farad using exact SI factors, then translated to the requested unit with the same data pulled from the SI Brochure and NIST SP 811.

Key electrostatic capacitance relationships

1 Kilofarad = 1,000 Farad
1 Millifarad = 0.001 Farad
1 Microfarad = 1.0000e-6 Farad
1 Nanofarad = 1.0000e-9 Farad
1 Picofarad = 1.0000e-12 Farad

Where electrostatic capacitance units are used

Electrical engineers, PCB designers, and maintenance teams convert these electrical quantities while specifying circuits, troubleshooting faults, and documenting test data. The electrostatic capacitance converter covers real-world units such as Farad and Kilofarad, giving teams a trusted reference when cross-checking data between labs, suppliers, and regulatory filings.

Tips for accurate electrostatic capacitance conversions

Always verify the unit symbol in your worksheet—this converter normalizes values through Farad, which is the SI reference for electrostatic capacitance measurements.
When jumping between Farad and Kilofarad, watch metric prefixes and rounding. A misplaced milli-, micro-, or kilo- prefix can produce errors of several orders of magnitude.
Document the context (test conditions, instrument resolution, uncertainty) whenever you publish electrostatic capacitance conversions so coworkers and auditors can reproduce your results.
