Hi,
I'm an artist trying to build some electrodes right now, and I'm not sure if I have the right capacitors. Is the 100pf equal to .1 uf?
And is the 10nf equal to .01 uf?
Is there some kind of chart I can refer to?
Thanks for your help,
Tracy
am I using the right capacitor?

no. that would be 0.10nF
yes.
Your chart: Same | Same
u = micro = 10e-6 1 uF 0.000001 uF
n = nano = 10e-9 1,000 nF 0.001 nF
p = pico = 10e-12 1,000,000 pF 1 pF

Type this in Google to get an answer:
100 picofarads to microfaradsYes Google can do this for yah...
Wikipedia probably has a metric chart..
I know Tera to Femto :P D from BC
100 PF = .000100Uf

micro (u) means 1 millionth or times .000,001 (with comma just breaking up the numbers into groups of 3 for easier counting)
nano means 1 billionth or times .000,000,001
pico means 1 trillionth or times .000,000,000,001
1000 pf = 1 nF1000 nF = 1 uF.
OOPs?
u = micro = 10e-6 1 uF = 0.000001 F
n = nano = 10e-9 1 nF = 0.000000001 F
p = pico = 10e-12 1 pF = 0.000000000001 F
Cheers! Rich
Thanks so much everybody!
That helps a lot.
