Convert Millifarads to Attofarads
Convert Millifarads (mF) to Attofarads (aF) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
aF = mF × 1000000000000000
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 Attofarads
The attofarad (aF) equals 10⁻¹⁸ F, the scale for quantum-mechanical and nanoscale capacitances. Carbon-nanotube transistor gate capacitances are 1-100 aF; single-electron tunnel junctions in Coulomb-blockade devices operate in the attofarad range; scanning-probe microscopy tip-sample junctions at sub-nanometre separation approach 1 aF. 1 aF = 10⁻³ fF = 10⁻¹⁸ F.
