Convert Millifarads to Abfarads
Convert Millifarads (mF) to Abfarads (abF) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
abF = mF × 1.000000000e-12
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.
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.
