About Electrostatic Capacitance Units

Electrostatic capacitance is a measure of a capacitor's ability to store electric charge. The SI unit of capacitance is the farad (F), which is defined as the capacitance that stores one coulomb of charge when a potential difference of one volt is applied.

Common Electrostatic Capacitance Units

• Farad (F): The SI unit of capacitance, defined as the capacitance that stores one coulomb of charge when a potential difference of one volt is applied.
• Millifarad (mF): Equal to 0.001 farads.
• Microfarad (μF): Equal to 0.000001 farads, commonly used in electronics.
• Nanofarad (nF): Equal to 0.000000001 farads.
• Picofarad (pF): Equal to 0.000000000001 farads, used for small capacitances.
