What is the unit of electrical capacitance?

The unit of electrical capacitance is the Farad (F) because it represents the ability of a component or device to store an electric charge. Capacitance is defined as the ratio of the electric charge (Q) stored on the component to the voltage (V) applied across it: C = Q/V. The Farad is named after Michael Faraday, a pioneer in the field of electromagnetism, and it is equivalent to one coulomb of charge per volt of potential difference. In practical terms, capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits to store energy, filter noise, and regulate voltage, making the Farad a fundamental unit to quantify the capacity of these components.
