Farad is a unit of capacitance - to measure the capacity of devices called capacitors. Farad means coloumb/voltage, in other words, if the capacitor has a capacity of 1 farad, it will store a charge of 1 coloumb for every volt. This is a huge unit; real capacitors are usually specified in microfarad, nanofarad or picofarad.

approx equal to (2 x 10^(-4) to 0.01) x large ultracapacitor capacitance (100 to 5000 F)
The prefix "p" means "pico" - a millionth of a millionth of something. Therefore, 100 pF is 100 x 10-12 Farad, equal to 10-10 Farad. Since a Farad is, for most practical purposes, an extremely large unit, prefixes like micro, nano and even pico are often used with it.
second squared !
One times one equal one.
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
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.
Theæ definition of farad is as follows; SI unit of capacitance, formally defined to be the capacitance of a capacitor between the plates of whichæthere appears a potential difference of one volt when it is charged by a quantity of electricity equal to one coulomb.
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.
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.
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.
No, the unit for capacitance is coulomb per volt, not coulomb per farad. The farad is the unit of capacitance, representing one coulomb per volt.
1 microfarad (μF) is equivilent to one-millionth (10-6) of a farad. Therefore, 1F = 0.000001μF :)
