farad to decafarad
Convert farad (F) to decafarad (daF). Use an editable capacitance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 F = 0.1 daF
Conversion formula
One farad equals 0.1 decafarad. Multiply your value in farad by this factor to get decafarad. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 farad:5 × 0.1 = 0.5 daF

About these measurements
Capacitance relates stored charge to potential difference.
The base reference used here is the farad. One farad is 1 base units; one decafarad is 10 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 F to daF?
Multiply the quantity in F by 0.1. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the decafarad to farad converter.
