Meaning of "farad" in English

The farad is a unit of electrical capacitance in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after the English scientist Michael Faraday. A capacitor has a capacitance of one farad (F) when one coulomb of charge accumulates across it resulting in a potential difference of one volt. Farads are often used to describe the capacity of capacitors in electronic circuits, though sub-units like microfarads (μF) and picofarads (pF) are more commonly used due to the large size of a farad.

Meaning of "farad" in French

In French, the term "farad" also represents the unit of electrical capacitance in the International System of Units. It is derived from the name Michael Faraday, reflecting the same scientific significance as in English. Un farad corresponds to a capacitor's capacity to store one coulomb of electrical charge with a potential difference of one volt. It's an essential unit in the field of electronics and electricity, typically present in the study of electronic circuits. Like in English, smaller units like microfarad (μF) and picofarad (pF) are frequently used.
