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

What is the Unit of capacitance in ohm and meter?

Capacitance is measured in Farads. "The unit... in ohm and meter" does not make sense.


The unit of capacitance is?

Farad


What is the SI unit of a capacitor?

Capacitors are measured in Farads or microfarads.


How do you calculate cable distance using farads?

All underground cables have relatively high values of capacitance, due to the close proximity of their cores and earthed (grounded) metallic sheath. Manufacturers provide data for their cables, which express their capacitance in terms of capacitance per unit length, e.g. microfarads per metre.Certain categories of underground cable-fault can be located by measuring the capacitance (using an appropriate bridge circuit) of the healthy section of the cable then, having determined the capacitance per unit length for that type of cable, measuring-off the distance along the cable route to the fault position.


How do you calculate 3X120sq.mm PILC cable capacitance?

To calculate the capacitance of a 3X120 sq.mm PILC (Paper Insulated Lead Covered) cable, you can use the formula for the capacitance per unit length of a three-core cable, which is approximately ( C = \frac{2\pi \epsilon}{\ln(\frac{D}{r})} ), where ( \epsilon ) is the permittivity of the insulation material, ( D ) is the distance between the conductors, and ( r ) is the radius of the conductor. The total capacitance can then be derived by multiplying the capacitance per unit length by the length of the cable. Specific values for ( \epsilon ), ( D ), and ( r ) should be obtained based on the cable's construction and insulation type.
