What are the units of electrical capacitance?

In: Electronics Engineering [Edit categories]

Answer:

The unit of capacitance is the farad. One farad requires one ampere to sustain one volt per second...

^dv/_dt = ⁱ/_c

...where volts per second is proportional to current in amperes and inversely proportional to capacitance in farads.
