Low Pass Filter Help: Values for Capacitor Confusion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the correct values for capacitors in a low pass filter, specifically the confusion between nanofarads (nF) and microfarads (uF). Participants clarify that 1 nF equals 1 x 10^-9 farads and 1 uF equals 1 x 10^-6 farads. This distinction is crucial for accurately designing the filter. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these units for effective electronic circuit design. Overall, clear communication about capacitor values is essential for successful low pass filter implementation.

hi there i would be very gratefull if anyone could help.

im trying to work out some values for a low pass filter. the problem is the values for the capacitor I am not sure exactly what amount nf or uf are,
for example 1 nf or 10 uf
what is the exact number
any help would be appreciated

Those units are nanofarads and microfarads, respectively.

1 nF = 1 x 10^-9 F
1 uF = 1 x 10^-6 F

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
