Conversion Formula
abF = MF × 0.001
About Megafarads
The megafarad (MF) equals 10⁶ F, a scale not reached by any discrete capacitor available today. Theoretical projections of utility-scale ultracapacitor arrays for grid energy storage discuss megafarad totals; the Earth-ionosphere spherical capacitor is estimated at about 0.9 F, so MF is well beyond any natural or engineered capacitor at present. 1 MF = 10³ kF = 10⁶ F.
About Abfarads
The abfarad (abF) is the capacitance unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 1 abC / 1 abV = 10 C / 10⁻⁸ V = 10⁹ F, exactly equal to 1 GF in SI. It appeared in nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century electromagnetic engineering texts alongside abohms and abamperes; 1 abF represents the capacitance of a connection storing 10 C at 10 nV. 1 abF = 10⁹ F = 1 GF.
