You can do the reverse unit conversion from gigafarad to megafarad, or enter any two units below:
The SI prefix "mega" represents a factor of 106, or in exponential notation, 1E6.
So 1 megafarad = 106 farads.
The definition of a farad is as follows:
The farad (symbol F) is the SI unit of capacitance (named after Michael Faraday). A capacitor has a value of one farad when one coulomb of charge causes a potential difference of one volt across it. Its equivalent expressions in other SI units are: Since the farad is a very large unit, values of capacitors are usually expressed in microfarads (?F), nanofarads (nF), or picofarads (pF). The picofarad is comically called a "puff" in laboratory usage.
The SI prefix "giga" represents a factor of 109, or in exponential notation, 1E9.
So 1 gigafarad = 109 farads.
