Farad

Farad is a unit of capacitance in the International System of Units. Named after the English scientist Michael Faraday, it is defined as one coulomb per volt.

Definition

The farad is the SI derived unit of electrical capacitance, the ability of a body to store an electrical charge. It is named after the English scientist Michael Faraday.

In terms of SI base units, a farad is one kilogram times meter squared per second to the fourth power times ampere squared (kg·m²·s⁻⁴·A²).

Applications

Farads are used in high-power resistor-capacitor (RC) networks such as those in power supplies and inverters.
