Quantity Catalog - Capacitance
Capacitance is a physical quantity that measures the ability of a system to store an electric charge. It is the ability of a component or system to store energy in an electric field.
Capacitance is measured in units such as farads, picofarads, and microfarads. These units are commonly used in electronics and electrical engineering to quantify the amount of charge that can be stored in a given system.
- Capacitance is crucial in designing electronic circuits
- It plays a key role in energy storage systems
- Capacitors are widely used in filtering and smoothing circuits
- Capacitance is essential in signal processing and communication systems.

abfarad
abfarad
1 abfarad = 1000000000 s^4*A^2/m^2/kg; The abfarad is a unit of capacitance in the CGS system, equal to 10^9 farads. It is rarely used in modern scientific contexts due to its large value. |
