Definition[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
Farads are used in high-power resistor-capacitor (RC) networks such as those in power supplies and inverters.
