A capital F, the SI unit symbol for the farad.
F is the SI symbol for the farad, the derived unit of capacitance. Practical components are marked in microfarads, nanofarads and picofarads, because one farad is enormous.
Denotes the farad, the SI derived unit of electric capacitance.
Contexts: Mathematics
Is so large a unit that ordinary components are marked with sub-multiples: µF, nF and pF are the values printed on capacitors, and a bare F is rare outside supercapacitors.
Contexts: Electrical equipment
The capital Latin letter F: a vertical stroke with two horizontal arms projecting to the right, one at the top and a shorter one at the middle.
The circuit symbol shows the component; the unit states its value.
