Microfarad
One microfarad is equal to one millionth of a farad (1e-6 farads).
History: Microfarads became standard for many electronic capacitors.
Current use: Used for electrolytic capacitors, filters, power supplies, and circuits.
Also written as uF.
Nanofarad
One nanofarad is equal to one billionth of a farad (1e-9 farads).
History: Nanofarads are common in signal and timing circuits.
Current use: Used for ceramic capacitors, filters, oscillators, and electronics design.
Also written as nF.
