A one-hundred nano-Farad capacitor is written as 100nF or just 100n. It may be marked as 0.1 (meaning 0.1uF which is 100nF). Or it may be marked with 104, meaning 10 and four zeros: 100000pF which is equal to 100nF. A twenty-two pico-Farad capacitor is written as 22pF or 22p.Jul 30, 2012');})();(function(){window.jsl.dh('_kj52YKn1MsqE-gS97b3ACA47','
1 micro farad
uF refers to the size of the capacitor. Capacitance is the charge that is necessary to raise the potential of a body one unit. A capacitance of 1 farad (f) requires 1 coulomb of electricity to raise its potential 1 volt (v). 1 micro farad (uF) = 0.0000001 F. Dannie Musser.

A pF is one-millionth of a uF. In between a pF and a uF is a nF which is one-one thousands of a uF.
