What does FARAD mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
The SI unit of electrical capacitance, equal to the capacitance of a capacitor that stores one coulomb of charge per volt of potential difference.
A farad is a very large unit for most practical purposes, so capacitors used in everyday electronics are usually rated in microfarads, nanofarads, or picofarads rather than whole farads. The unit is named after the English scientist Michael Faraday, whose experiments with electricity and magnetism in the nineteenth century laid much of the groundwork for later electrical theory. Larger capacitors used for energy storage, such as those in some backup power systems, can approach or exceed a full farad.
How FARAD is used
A standard unit of measurement in physics and electrical engineering, almost always abbreviated F when written with a number, as in 100 microfarads.
- The capacitor was rated at ten microfarads, far less than a full farad.
- Engineers measured the capacitance of the circuit in farads.
- A supercapacitor can store several farads of charge.
- The textbook defined the farad in terms of coulombs and volts.
- One farad is an enormous amount of capacitance for a small component.
