What is the value of a monolithic capacitor with 103 on it?
- 1000pf.
- 10,000pf.
- 100,000pf.
Explanation from PART66Online
On a marked capacitor the first two digits are significant figures and the third is the number of zeros (the picofarad multiplier). So "103" means 10 followed by three zeros = 10,000 pF (equivalent to 10 nF or 0.01 microF). It is read in picofarads, the same convention as the colour code.

the third number is the number of zeros you have to put after, i.e 473=47.000

it basically means 10^3 .if it was 104 it would be 10^4 etc.
