Converting from Millifarad (mF) to Microfarad (µF) | Electric capacitance

What is Millifarad (mF)

Millifarad (mF) is a unit of measurement used in the field of electric capacitance to quantify the capacity of a capacitor. It represents one thousandth of a farad and is commonly used in smaller electronic components.

What is Microfarad (µF)

Microfarad (µF) is another unit of measurement in electric capacitance, representing one millionth of a farad. It is used to measure capacitance in capacitors and is often found in larger electronic systems.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between millifarads and microfarads is straightforward:

• To convert from millifarad (mF) to microfarad (µF): µF=mF×1000

• To convert from microfarad (µF) to millifarad (mF): mF=1000µF​

Examples

1. Converting 12 mF to µF:

12 mF=12×1000=12000 µF

2. Converting 3 µF to mF:

3 µF=10003​=0.003 mF

3. Converting 15 mF to µF:

15 mF=15×1000=15000 µF

Remember, these are general conversion examples, and you can apply the conversion formulas to any values you need in your electronic projects. Use this quick reference guide when converting between millifarads and microfarads for efficient capacitor usage.
