Convert Gigafarads to Millifarads
Convert Gigafarads (GF) to Millifarads (mF) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mF = GF × 1000000000000
About Gigafarads
The gigafarad (GF) equals 10⁹ F, numerically identical to the CGS-EMU abfarad. No physical capacitor approaches 1 GF; the value arises in theoretical superconducting circuit analysis and in historical CGS-EMU electromagnetic texts where the abfarad (= 1 GF) was the natural capacitance unit. 1 GF = 10³ MF = 10⁹ F = 1 abF.
About Millifarads
The millifarad (mF) equals 10⁻³ F, spanning large electrolytic capacitors and low-capacitance supercapacitors. Camera strobe flash capacitors are 2 000-5 000 µF = 2-5 mF; bulk reservoir capacitors in high-current amplifiers reach 10-100 mF; coin-cell electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC) for SRAM backup typically provide 100-1 000 mF. 1 mF = 10⁻³ F = 10³ µF.
