farad
The derived unit of electrical capacitance in the SI system of units. 1 farad (F) is the capacitance of an electric capacitor between the two plates of which there appears a difference of electric potential of one volt when it is charged by a quantity of electricity equal to one coulomb (F = C/V). The unit is named after the British scientist Michael Faraday.
