One farad is equal to one coulomb of electric charge stored per volt of potential difference across a capacitor. In simpler terms, a capacitor has a capacitance of one farad when it can store one coulomb of charge for every volt applied across it. This unit is named after the physicist Michael Faraday.

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.
