Examples
The condensers used in the above experiment have a capacity of one microfarad, or one millionth of a farad.
Farad, the practical unit of capacity for electricity, in the electromagnetic system of units.
Since the farad is far too large for practical purposes a millionth of a farad, or microfarad, whose symbol is mfd., is used.
As this unit is inconveniently large, for practical applications the unit microfarad—millionth of a farad—is employed.
The farad being inconveniently large for practical use, one-millionth of a farad, called a microfarad, is generally adopted.
