CAPACITOR INFORMATION
| Capacitance is measured in Farads. One Farad is a very high capacitance, which you will almost certainly never encounter. Typically you will find capacitors in the microfarad (uF - one millionth of a Farad), nanofarad (nF - one thousand millionth of a Farad) and picofarad (pF - one million millionth of a Farad) ranges. Confusion can sometimes occur when values are quoted in different ranges eg. 100nF and 0.1uF are the same value. The table below shows some of these equivalent values, together with the code that you might find printed on the capacitor itself. |
