How can i convert 100pF to micro farads?

A picofarad is one millionth of a microfarad, which is one millionth of a farad (the basic unit of capacitance). The farad is a LOT of capacitance, so capacitors are usually specified in the smaller units. To keep from using a lot of decimal places, you can use powers of ten; for instance, a microfarad is .000001 farad, or 1 times 10 to the -6th power, or 1x10^-6 (or 1.0 E-06 as it usually appears on a calculator). To convert pf to µf, you need to divide by one million, or move the decimal point 6 places to the left. So 100 pf = .0001 µf. To make it more confusing, some capacitors that are almost in the microfarad range are listed in nanofarads, which is a thousandth of a microfarad. So a 10000 pf capacitor could be shown as 10 nf or .01 µf.

Remember the prefixes:

pico=p=10^-12 (.000000000001)

nano=n=10^-9 (.000000001)

micro=µ (Greek letter mu) =10^-6 (.000001)

milli=m=10^-3 (.001)

How can i convert 100pF to micro farads?

and then from Micro Farads back to pico?

Show working on how i can accolplish it...make it simple...thanks

The capacitance value of a capacitor in Farads and it`s opposition to current flow in ohms are related to each other but they cannot be converted directly from one unit to another because they are the basic units of two different things. The capacitive reactance of a capacitor in ohms (X of c) is given by (X of c) = 1 / (2 pi fc). For example the reactance value in ohms of a .05uF capacitor operating at 500Hz is the same as the reactance value in ohms of a .025uF capacitor operating at 1000 Hz. From this you can see that a capacitor of a given Farrad value can not be assigned a unique ohmic value. A capacitor such as the one in the air conditioner unit does not normally change enough in capacitance value to effect it`s function in the circuit. Normally when one fails it will first short out and then burn itself open. In either case your supervisor could detect this with an ohm meter. A gradually increasing high reading on the ohm meter indicates the capacitor is probably still good and of course a zero ohms reading indicates the cap is shorted. No defection on the ohmeter indicates the capacitor is open and is of no value in the circuit.

Farads To Picofarads

The SI terms for fractional units are:

mF mili 10^-3

μF micro 10^-6

nF nano 10^-9

pF pico 10^-12

fF femto 10^-15

aF atto 10^-18

So a μF is 1x10^6 pF , and a pF is 1x10^-6 mF.

(100pF)(1μF/1x10^6pF) = 1x10^-4μF

(1x10^-4μF)(1x10^6pF/ μF = 100pF or 1x10^2pF

(10^ -12)(100)(10^ -6)

pico-, a prefix in the International System of Units (SI) denoting a factor of 10-12

100 pF = .0001 uF

A picoFarad is one millionth of a microfarad. (That's .000001 uF) And I'm old enough to remember when they were called 'micro-microFarads' (or 'micky-mikes')

HTH,

one pico farad = 10^9 farads

thus, 100 pF= 10^11 farads :D

hope this helps
