A Farad (from Michael Faraday) is the basic unit for capacitance, and a 1 Farad capacitor has a voltage of 1 v across it when the stored charge is 1 coulomb.
Most capacitors used in electronics have their capacitance measured in microfarads (10-6 F) or even picofarads (10-12 F).

Does 001 farad of capacitor have polarity?
Only electrolytic capacitors (tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor) are polarized.0.001 farad = 1000 microfaradThis is a value that is too large for any practical capacitor except an electrolytic, so yes it will be polarized.
What is a 2200 capacitor?
I imagine 2200 is the value and usual is in microfarad a one farad will be a huge capacitor to be used in electronics.
What is the difference between a 1000 micro farad capacitor and a 1500 micro farad capacitor?
about 500 uF
On a run capacitor what does the MFD stand for?
Farad is the basic unit for capacitance. The MFD is an abbreviation for microfarad, which is one-millionth of a farad. The capacitance of a 50 MFD capacitor is one 50 millionth of a farad.
What is the basic unit of a capacitor?
micro farad
Unit of capacitor is?
The SI unit of capacitance is the farad. 1 farad is 1 coulomb per volt.
A farad is a measure of what?
The Farad is a measure of how much electric charge is accumulated on the capacitor. Named after Michael Faraday
Can an 2 farad capacitor still be used if the terminals were crossed at connection?
I Rather not think that you can buy 2 farad capacitor and no the terminals must follow polarity guidelines.
What would be the physical size of a 1 farad capacitor?
When used in car audio applications, a 1 farad capacitor is usually about 6" long and about 2.5-3" in diameter.
What does a capacitance meter do?
A capacitor meter measures the value of a capacitor in pf (picofarads), nf (nanofarads), uf (microfarads) or even farads. There are a million uf in a farad, 1000 nf in a uf, and 1000 pf in a nf. A farad is a very large amount of capacity. The capacity tells you how much energy the capacitor can store from a voltage source.
What size capacitor you need for a 1000 watts amplifier?
It takes 1 farad for every 1000 watts so u need 2 farads.
How many farads does a scosche 500k capacitor have?
500K is 500 000 µ Farad so it's ½ a Farad
