Definition
Die SI-Einheit der elektrischen Kapazität, definiert als die Kapazität eines Kondensators, der bei einer Spannung von einem Volt eine Ladung von einem Coulomb speichert (1 F = 1 C/V).
Erklärung
Named after Michael Faraday. One farad is an enormous capacitance — most electronic capacitors are measured in microfarads (µF, 10⁻⁶ F), nanofarads (nF), or picofarads (pF, 10⁻¹² F). Supercapacitors used in electric vehicles and energy storage can reach thousands of farads. A 1 F capacitor charged to 1 V stores 0.5 joules of energy.
