Conversion Formula
abF = µF × 1.000000000e-15
About Microfarads
The microfarad (µF) equals 10⁻⁶ F, the practical scale for power supply filtering, motor-run capacitors, and audio crossovers. Aluminium electrolytic capacitors range from 1 µF to 100 000 µF; DC link bus capacitors in inverter drives are 100-1 000 µF; motor-run capacitors are 1-100 µF per phase; audio crossover networks use 1-100 µF film capacitors. 1 µF = 10⁻³ mF = 10⁻⁶ 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.
