Short background on the units used in this conversion.
The microfarad (µF) equals 10⁻⁶ farad — the common unit for electrolytic and film capacitors in power supplies and audio circuits.
Microfarads label bulk capacitors on PCBs, power filters, and timing circuits where µF values dominate.
The nanofarad (nF) equals 10⁻⁹ farad — a standard mid-range capacitor value in signal and coupling applications.
Nanofarads appear in coupling capacitors, filter networks, and general-purpose SMD capacitor markings.
nF = µF × 1,000µF = nF × 0.001, using the same exact factors as this converter.
