Best Answer

The standard unit of capacitance is Farad which indicates the ability of the capacitor to hold an electric charge. Most capacitor values we encounter in households electronics or computers are expressed in farads, microfarads (µF) which is 10 to power of -6 and nanofarads (nF) 10 to power of minus 9.

Resistors are mesured in units of ohms.

Capacitors are measured in units of farads, although the farad is a large capacitance, so capacitors are generally measured in microfarads or picofarads.
