Convert Megafarads to Gigafarads
Convert Megafarads (MF) to Gigafarads (GF) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
GF = 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 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.
