Best Answer

1 microfarad = 1uF = 10-6 F = 0.000001 F

mili = 10-3

micro = 10-6

nano = 10-9

pico = 10-12

How do you convert microfarad into farad?

A Farad is the electrical unit of capacitance. Many commonly used capacitors (also known as condensors) are measured in micro-Farads (μF). A micro-Farad is one millionth of a Farad. To convert from micro-Farads to Farads, divide the micro-Farad value by one million. 2 micro-farads = 0.000002 Farads.


What does micro farads measure?

A microfarad measures electrical capacitance. A farad can be defined as the charge in coulombs, which is 1 ampere per second, that a capacitor will accept for the potential across it to charge one volt. A microfarad is equal to one millionth of a farad.


How many microfarads are there in one farad?

1000000 microfarad


What are capacitors mesured in?

Farads, which is one big unit. Usually you will see microfarads, micro micro farads, pico farads. See related links below.

Cannot be answered as they are not compatible units. You might as well be asking "How many oranges in one railroad tie?".


How do you repair a 680 microfarad capacitor?

To repair a 680 microfarad capacitor, buy a new one and install it in place of the old one. It is unrealistic to attempt repair of a capacitor.


A 10 microfard capacitor is charged through a 10 ohm resistor. How long will it take for the capacitor t fully charge?

If a 10 microfarad capacitor is charged through a 10 ohm resistor, it will theoretically never reach full charge. Practically, however, it can be considered fully charged after 5 time constants. One time constant is farads times ohms, so the time constant for a 10 microfarad capacitor and a 10 ohm resistor is 100 microseconds. Full charge will be about 500 microseconds.


If picofarad capacitor is replaced with microfarad capacitor then what will happend?

The unit of capacitor is farad. 1 farad =10 to the power of 6 microfarad and also = 10 to the power of 12 picofarad Therfore if you are replacing one picofarad capcitor into one microfarad capacitor you are increasing the capcitance to 1000000 times. If it is in an oscillator circuit you are changing the frequency drastically which will be of no use.


What is an abfarad?

An abfarad is a unit of charge storage equivalent to one billion farads.


Can a 47 microfarad capacitor in a microtimer circuit be replaced with a 470 microfarad capacitor?

No, the value is far too small. If it is the capacitor used for the timing, the time/s will be reduced to one tenth of the deisred value.


Units of measure of a capacitor?

The unit for capacitance is the Farad, spelled with a capital F, as it was named for a person. The Farad is a huge unit for capacitance for the electronics in use today, so most capacitors are sized in microFarads and micromicroFarads, which these days is called picoFarads.


What is the relationship between microfarad and ampere?

Microfarad is a unit of capacitance used in most electronic applications which is equivalent to one millionth of a farad. Ampere on the other hand measures the rate of electron current or flow inside an electrical conductor.
