Understanding the Units

What is a Microfarad?

The farad is the SI derived unit of electrical capacitance, equal to one coulomb per volt (1 F = 1 C/V).

Named after Michael Faraday (1791–1867), the English scientist whose discoveries underpin electromagnetism and electrochemistry.

Common contexts: electronics, energy storage.
