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 Millifarads
The millifarad (mF) equals 10⁻³ F, spanning large electrolytic capacitors and low-capacitance supercapacitors. Camera strobe flash capacitors are 2 000-5 000 µF = 2-5 mF; bulk reservoir capacitors in high-current amplifiers reach 10-100 mF; coin-cell electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC) for SRAM backup typically provide 100-1 000 mF. 1 mF = 10⁻³ F = 10³ µF.
