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.
About Megafarads
The megafarad (MF) equals 10⁶ F, a scale not reached by any discrete capacitor available today. Theoretical projections of utility-scale ultracapacitor arrays for grid energy storage discuss megafarad totals; the Earth-ionosphere spherical capacitor is estimated at about 0.9 F, so MF is well beyond any natural or engineered capacitor at present. 1 MF = 10³ kF = 10⁶ F.
