SI multiples[edit]

SI multiples of farad (F)
Submultiples Multiples
Value SI symbol Name Value SI symbol Name
10−1 F dF decifarad 101 F daF decafarad
10−2 F cF centifarad 102 F hF hectofarad
10−3 F mF millifarad 103 F kF kilofarad
10−6 F µF microfarad 106 F MF megafarad
10−9 F nF nanofarad 109 F GF gigafarad
10−12 F pF picofarad 1012 F TF terafarad
10−15 F fF femtofarad 1015 F PF petafarad
10−18 F aF attofarad 1018 F EF exafarad
10−21 F zF zeptofarad 1021 F ZF zettafarad
10−24 F yF yoctofarad 1024 F YF yottafarad

This SI unit is named after Michael Faraday. As with every International System of Units (SI) unit named for a person, the first letter of its symbol is upper case (F). However, when an SI unit is spelled out in English, it is treated as a common noun and should always begin with a lower case letter (farad)—except in a situation where any word in that position would be capitalized, such as at the beginning of a sentence or in material using title case.
