Energy Stored in a Capacitor Derivation, Formula and Applications

The unit of capacitance is the Farad (F). It is named after the English physicist Michael Faraday, who made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.# Definition of FaradOne Farad is defined as the capacitance of a capacitor that stores one coulomb of electric charge when a potential difference of one volt is applied across its terminals.# Subunits of FaradSince the Farad is a relatively large unit, smaller subunits are often used to express capacit
