Definitions from the Web

Capacitance Unit

A capacitance unit is a measurement unit used to quantify the capacitance of an electrical circuit or component.

Sense 1: Standard Capacitance Unit

In electronic engineering, the standard capacitance unit is the farad (F). It represents the capacitance of a component that requires one volt of electric potential to store one coulomb of electrical charge.

Sample sentence: The capacitor has a capacitance of 10 microfarads (μF), which is equivalent to 10 × 10-6 farads.

Sense 2: Local Capacitance Unit

In some local contexts, alternative capacitance units are used for convenience or specific measurements.

Sample sentence: The technician calibrated the equipment using microfarads (μF) as the local capacitance unit.
