Farad \Far"ad\, n. [From Michael Faraday, the English
electrician.] (Elec.)
The standard unit of electrical capacity; the capacity of a
condenser whose charge, having an electro-motive force of one
volt, is equal to the amount of electricity which, with the
same electromotive force, passes through one ohm in one
second; the capacity, which, charged with one coulomb, gives
an electro-motive force of one volt.
