The farad is the SI unit of capacitance.


It is defined as being the amount of capacitance of a capacitor between the plates of which an electric potential of $1$ volt appears when it stores $1$ coulomb of electric charge:

$1 \, \mathrm F = 1 \, \mathrm C \, \mathrm V^{-1}$

that is, $1$ coulomb per volt.
