EF(exafarad)

An exafarad (EF) is a unit of measurement for capacitance in the field of electrical engineering. Capacitance is the ability of a physical body or system to store electrical energy in the form of an electric charge. The standard unit of capacitance is the farad (F), named after the British scientist Michael Faraday.

An exafarad is equal to 10^18 farads or one quintillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000) farads. This is an extremely large unit of capacitance and is rarely used in practical electrical measurements because such huge capacitance values are not typically encountered in real-world applications. Instead, capacitance is generally measured in smaller units such as microfarads (µF), nanofarads (nF), or picofarads (pF).

µF(microfarad)

A microfarad (µF) is a unit of capacitance in the field of electronics and electrical engineering. Capacitance is the ability of a component or system to store electric charge, typically associated with capacitors. The symbol for microfarad is µF, which represents one millionth (1x10^-6) of a farad (F), the unit of capacitance in the International System of Units (SI).

In simple terms, a capacitor with capacitance of 1 µF can store 1 micro-coulomb (µC) of electric charge when the voltage across it is 1 volt. Capacitors with larger capacitance values can store more electric charge or handle higher voltage ratings. Microfarad is a commonly used unit for capacitors, especially in electronic circuits and devices.
