Understanding Capacitance Units
Common Units
Capacitance is measured in farads (F) and its subdivisions. The most commonly used units are:
- Microfarad (μF) = 10⁻⁶ F - Used in most electronic circuits
- Nanofarad (nF) = 10⁻⁹ F - Common in signal processing
- Picofarad (pF) = 10⁻¹² F - Used in high-frequency applications
Practical Applications
Capacitors are fundamental components in electronics, used for:
- Energy storage in power supplies
- Filtering in signal processing
- Timing circuits and oscillators
- Coupling and decoupling in amplifiers
