First it is beyond me as to why you would be painting a capacitor. You also don't give any ratings for the capacitor. By painting over the ratings on the capacitor you will make it difficult for future repairs. Also you don't mention environmental conditions of the type of paint. I have had any number of capacitors fail in different ways and some in spectacular fashion with heat and bubbling surfaces involved which could be a fire hazard. My recommendation would be against painting.

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?

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


Unit of capacitor is?

The SI unit of capacitance is the farad. 1 farad is 1 coulomb per volt.


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 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


Can you use a farad capacitor as a battery capacitor?

No. The large farad capacitors are not designed to pass a lot of current. They are intended for ultra-low current applications such as memory retention in a CMOS type device.


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.
