The conversion of 100 pf to uf equals 0.0001 uf.
Since 1 picofarad (pf) is 1×10-12 farads and 1 microfarad (uf) is 1×10-6 farads, converting involves dividing the pf value by 1,000,000 to get uf. Therefore, 100 pf divided by 1,000,000 yields 0.0001 uf.
Conversion Result
100 pf is equal to 0.0001 uf, meaning when you convert from picofarads to microfarads, the value shrinks significantly because uf is a larger unit than pf.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert picofarads to microfarads divides the pf value by 1,000,000 because 1 uf equals 1,000,000 pf. This works because the units are related by powers of ten, with uf being a million times larger than pf. For example, 100 pf divided by 1,000,000 gives 0.0001 uf.
Conversion Example
- Convert 250 pf to uf:
- Step 1: Write down 250 pf.
- Step 2: Divide 250 by 1,000,000.
- Step 3: 250 / 1,000,000 = 0.00025 uf.
- Result: 250 pf equals 0.00025 uf.
- Convert 50 pf to uf:
- Step 1: Start with 50 pf.
- Step 2: Divide 50 by 1,000,000.
- Step 3: 50 / 1,000,000 = 0.00005 uf.
- Result: 50 pf equals 0.00005 uf.
- Convert 1200 pf to uf:
- Step 1: Write 1200 pf.
- Step 2: Divide 1200 by 1,000,000.
- Step 3: 1200 / 1,000,000 = 0.0012 uf.
- Result: 1200 pf equals 0.0012 uf.

Conversion Definitions
pf (picofarad)
A picofarad is a unit of capacitance equal to 10-12 farads, used to measure tiny electrical capacitance in electronic components like capacitors.
uf (microfarad)
A microfarad is a unit of capacitance equal to 10-6 farads, used to describe larger capacitance values in electronic circuits and components.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the uf value so small when converting from pf?
Because uf is a million times larger than pf, dividing the pf value by 1,000,000 scales it to uf, resulting in a much smaller number that properly reflects the larger unit’s magnitude.
Can I use the same formula to convert any pf to uf?
Yes, the conversion always involves dividing the pf value by 1,000,000 because of the direct relationship between the units, regardless of the size of the initial value.
What if I have a value in nf (nanofarad)? How do I convert that to uf?
To convert nanofarads to microfarads, divide the nf value by 1000, since 1 nf equals 0.001 uf. This is similar to the pf to uf conversion but involves different powers of ten.
