A farad is a unit of measure of capacitance. A capacitor of C farads charged up to V volts has charge of Q = CV (measured in coulombs). But this is still not power. If the capacitor is then completely discharged in say two seconds half of the power is provided than if it is discharged twice as fast (in one second). This is current. That is I = C dV/dT (amperes). dV or delta V = V if it is completely discharged. dV = 0.7*V if it is discharged to 0.3*V for example. Power is the current multiplied by the voltage (watts). So if the capacitor is completely discharged in T amount of time the power delivered is P = C * V * V / T. Or if the capacitor is charged up from zero charge to V volts in time T then the formula above is the P consumed to charge up the capacitor of C farads. You can think of capacitance as volume as in liters, cubic centimeters, or gallons. Using this analogy current would be flow rate such as gallons per minute, cc's per minute, or liters per second. I am not positive on this but I think voltage in this analogy could be thought of as pressure such as psi or bars. So power would be something like gpm * psi. In this analogy you are asking how do you convert gallons to a usable unit of power.

∙ 13y agoYou cannot convert farads directly to amperes without additional information.
The farad is a unit of capacitance, while the ampere is a unit of electrical current flow. They are not directly related, however, you can consider the equation of a capacitor is...
dv/dt = i/c
... which means that the rate of change of voltage, in volts per second, is proportional to current in amperes and inversely proportional to capacitance in farads.
For instance, a 100uF capacitor will produce (on discharge) or require (on charge) 10 volts per second at a current of 1 milliampere.

The unit of capacitance is?
Farad
What is the unit of messure for capacitance?
farad is the unit for capacitance in SI system. If one volt is developed as one coulomb charge is placed then capacitance has to be one farad. But one farad is enormous large one so practically speaking we use only micro farad, nano farad and pico farad. They are respectively 10-6 F, 10-9 F and 10-12 F
How to Convert DC ampere to AC ampere?
Buy an inverter sized to your application.
How do you convert volts to mva?
Do you mean 'megavolt ampere' (MV.A) or 'millivolt ampere' (mV.A)? By using the incorrect symbol ('mva'), this is not clear.To determine the apparent power, in volt amperes, you divide the true power, in watts, by the power factor of the load. One volt ampere is one-millionth of a megavolt ampere ('MV.A' -not 'mva') -assuming you don't mean 'millivolt ampere' ('mV.A')!
What is the value for micro farad?
1 microfarad (μF) is equivilent to one-millionth (10-6) of a farad. Therefore, 1F = 0.000001μF :)
How do you convert microfarad into farad?
A Farad is the electrical unit of capacitance. Many commonly used capacitors (also known as condensors) are measured in micro-Farads (μF). A micro-Farad is one millionth of a Farad. To convert from micro-Farads to Farads, divide the micro-Farad value by one million. 2 micro-farads = 0.000002 Farads.
How do you convert milliampere to ampere?
1 ampere = 1000 milliamperes
What is the unit of electrical capacitance?
The unit of electrical capacitance is Farad (F) named after Michal Faraday. A farad is the charge in coulombs a capacitor will accept for the potential across it to change 1 volt. A coulomb is 1 ampere second.
What is the unit of measure for capacitance?
The Farad is used to measure capacitance. Most small electronic capacitors are in microFarads(uF) or picoFarads (pF). The unit is name after Michael Faraday, the English chemist and physicist.
What does micro farads measure?
A microfarad measures electrical capacitance. A farad can be defined as the charge in coulombs, which is 1 ampere per second, that a capacitor will accept for the potential across it to charge one volt. A microfarad is equal to one millionth of a farad.
What is the relationship between microfarad and ampere?
Microfarad is a unit of capacitance used in most electronic applications which is equivalent to one millionth of a farad. Ampere on the other hand measures the rate of electron current or flow inside an electrical conductor.
What are the units of electrical capacitance?
The unit of capacitance is the farad. One farad requires one ampere to sustain one volt per second... dv/dt = i/c ...where volts per second is proportional to current in amperes and inversely proportional to capacitance in farads.
What do Volt Joule Ohm Kelvin Ampere Farad and Hertz all have in common?
All are units used in physics. All are the names of scientists famously associated with electricity.
The unit of capacitance is?

1 kilowatt hours equal to how much ampere?
You can't convert that directly. kWh is a unit of energy; ampere is a unit of current.
How do you convert 235.3 nA to A?
nA is a nano ampere, one billionth of an ampere. 235.3 nA would be 0.000 000 235 3 amperes.
Is 2000mA the same as 2A?
Yes. To convert from ampere to milliampere, multiply by 1000.
