farads
Electrical storage measures
Farads are the standard unit of electrical capacitance—a measure of how much electric charge a capacitor can store at a given voltage.
One farad is actually enormous for most applications, so you'll typically encounter microfarads or picofarads in electronics.
Named after physicist Michael Faraday.
