decifarad to centifarad
Convert decifarad (dF) to centifarad (cF). Use an editable capacitance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 dF = 10 cF
Conversion formula
One decifarad equals 10 centifarad. Multiply your value in decifarad by this factor to get centifarad. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 decifarad:5 × 10 = 50 cF

About these measurements
Capacitance relates stored charge to potential difference.
The base reference used here is the farad. One decifarad is 0.1 base units; one centifarad is 0.01 base units.
Important distinctions
Common component values use microfarads, nanofarads, and picofarads.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert dF to cF?
Multiply the quantity in dF by 10. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the centifarad to decifarad converter.
