Sentence examples for farad from inspiring English sources
noun
In the International System of Units, the derived unit of electrical capacitance; the capacitance of a capacitor in which one coulomb of charge causes a potential difference of one volt across the capacitor. Symbol: F
- The input has 5 pF (picofarads) of capacitance.
Six metric units the watt, kelvin, farad, newton, joule and gray are named after British scientists.
In terms of ordinary electric and electronic equipment, the farad is enormous, and capacitors are generally rated in microfarads (one microfarad equals 10-6 farad) or picofarads 10-122 farad).
(The unit of capacitance is farad.) Because inductive reactance XL causes the voltage to lead the current and capacitive reactance XC causes the voltage to lag behind the current, total reactance X is their difference that is, X = XL - XC.
The capacitance of a capacitor is one farad when one coulomb of electricity changes the potential between the plates by one volt.
In both the practical and the metre kilogram second scientific systems, the unit of electric charge is the coulomb and the unit of potential difference is the volt, so that the unit of capacitance named the farad (symbolized F is one coulomb per volt.
Convenient subdivisions in common use are one-millionth of a farad, called a microfarad (μF), and one-millionth of a microfarad, called a picofarad (pF; older term, micromicrofarad, μμF).
Basically, the rate of change of E with distance is equal to ρ/ε0, in which ρ is the electric charge density in coulombs per metre, and ε0is the permittivity 8.85 × 10−12 farads per metre.
In SI units, it is given in farads per metre or in terms of the ratio of specific capacity of the material to specific capacity of vacuum (which is 8.85 × 10-12 farads per metre).
The letters R, L, and C represent, respectively, the values of the resistance in ohms, the inductance in henrys, and the capacitance in farads.
In a bold stroke that resonates with the Shia doctrine of the Hidden Imam, WD Mohammed legitimised this change with reference to the NOI's formerly divinised founder: "Master Farad Muhammad is not dead, brothers and sisters, he is physically alive and I talk to him whenever I get ready.
Under Elijah Muhammad, the NOI, founded by a mysterious street pedlar known as Master Muhammad Farad (also known as Fard), taught an eclectic mixture of doctrines, combining elements of protestant Armageddon theology with an Islamic philosophical and religious colouring.
