The easiest way is to connect it directly to the battery. Make sure the polarity matches up. (-ve to -ve, and +ve to +ve). Because it is 1F, it will take some time to charge. (probably a minute or two.)
In that way, the capacitor will charge to whatever the voltage of the battery. But won't be fully charged,

∙ 13y agobefore you try to hook up to battery it must be charged.if not could cause serious damage or even blow up your battery. the easiest way to do it have it installed where you want it in the vehical ground it in a good place.run positive wire to battery but do not touch.now find any 12 volt light bulb with socket strip wires for the socket touch wire from one end of socket too positive wire of capacitor and touch other wire from socket to positive battery terminal.bulb will light and stay on for few seconds then slowly go out.now capacitor is charged.hook up to positive batt terminal as soon as charged.and do not be affraid to do this you will not get shocked.

What is the basic unit of a capacitor?
micro farad
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.
If picofarad capacitor is replaced with microfarad capacitor then what will happend?
The unit of capacitor is farad. 1 farad =10 to the power of 6 microfarad and also = 10 to the power of 12 picofarad Therfore if you are replacing one picofarad capcitor into one microfarad capacitor you are increasing the capcitance to 1000000 times. If it is in an oscillator circuit you are changing the frequency drastically which will be of no use.
What is fifty microfarads?
Fifty millionths of a farad, abbreviated as 50 uF. Farad is the unit of capacitance. 50 microamps DC flowing for 1 second will charge a 50 uF capacitor to 1 volt.
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.
Unit of capacitor is?
The SI unit of capacitance is the farad. 1 farad is 1 coulomb per volt.
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.
Which capacitor is best for a 1400Watts amp?
It you mean a cap then it's 1 farad for every 1000 watts. So you would want a 1.5 farad cap. Or a 2 farad would work as well.
What size capacitor you need for a 1000 watts amplifier?
It takes 1 farad for every 1000 watts so u need 2 farads.
What is the difference between a 1000 micro farad capacitor and a 1500 micro farad capacitor?
about 500 uF
What if 10 micro farad capacitor is connected to 5 micro farad capacitor in parallel what would be the result?
Since the total capacitance for capacitors in parallel is the sum of the individual capacitances. I'm sure that you can work it out for yourself!
Can value of any capacitor be in farad?
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).
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
What does the farad rating mean in capacitors?
The rating or 'size' of a capacitor, called its "capacitance", is related the amount of charge the capacitor can store, to the amount of energy it holds when it stores some charge, and to the opposition of the capacitor to the apparent flow of alternating current through it. If a capacitor has a capacitance of 1 farad, then -- One coulomb of charge stripped off of one plate and added to the other plate produces 1 volt of potential difference between the plates. -- The energy stored in the capacitor is 1/2 the square of the voltage across it. -- Its impedance is (0.159 divided by the frequency) ohms. The farad is an enormous capacitance. A typical capacitor used in a 'lumped' circuit ... the kind of construction where you would buy a capacitor and solder it in ... has a capacitance in the range of maybe 10 picofarads (trillionths of a farad) to maybe 100 microfarads (millionths of a farad).
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.
