About Abfarads
The abfarad (abF) is the capacitance unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 1 abC / 1 abV = 10 C / 10⁻⁸ V = 10⁹ F, exactly equal to 1 GF in SI. It appeared in nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century electromagnetic engineering texts alongside abohms and abamperes; 1 abF represents the capacitance of a connection storing 10 C at 10 nV. 1 abF = 10⁹ F = 1 GF.
About Farads
The farad (F) is the SI derived unit of electrical capacitance, equal to 1 coulomb per volt (1 C/V = 1 A²·s⁴·kg⁻¹·m⁻²), named after Michael Faraday (1791-1867). One farad is impractically large for classical components: electric double-layer supercapacitors (EDLC) are the only practical devices in the farad range, from 1 F coin cells to 3 000 F modules used in regenerative braking. 1 F = 10³ mF = 10⁶ µF.
