Understanding Millifarads

A millifarad (mF) is a unit of electrical capacitance equal to one-thousandth (10⁻³) of a farad. It's commonly used in electronics and electrical engineering to measure the capacity of capacitors and other electronic components.

Common Conversions

  • 1 millifarad = 0.001 farads
  • 1 millifarad = 1,000 microfarads
  • 1 millifarad = 1,000,000 nanofarads

Practical Applications

Millifarads are typically used in high-capacity applications such as power supply filtering, motor start capacitors, and industrial electronic equipment. Most everyday electronic devices use smaller units like microfarads or nanofarads.
