T5C02 - What is the unit of capacitance?

Question

What is the unit of capacitance?

Answer Options

  • A) The farad
  • B) The ohm
  • C) The volt
  • D) The henry

Correct Answer: A


Explanation

The standard unit of capacitance (the ability to store energy in an electric field - T5C01) is the Farad (\text{F}).

Because the Farad is an extremely large unit, capacitance is usually measured in much smaller subdivisions, such as microfarads (\mu\text{F}) or picofarads (\text{pF}).
