microfarad
This term is a technical unit of measurement used exclusively in electronics and physics to quantify the ability of a component to store an electrical charge. It carries a neutral, scientific connotation and is typically found in circuit diagrams, component specifications, and engineering textbooks.
Because it is a standard unit of measure, it follows the typical pattern of countable nouns in technical contexts. It is frequently abbreviated as uF or MF in schematic diagrams to save space, though the former is more precise in modern SI notation.
Meanings
A unit of electrical capacitance equal to one millionth of a farad.
Examples
The circuit requires a capacitor of ten microfarads to stabilize the voltage.
Check if the capacitor is rated for one hundred microfarads.
I need a microfarad meter to test these components.
Wait, did you use a ten microfarad capacitor or a twenty microfarad one?
The value is listed as 47 microfarads on the casing.
He wondered if a few microfarads of additional capacitance would fix the noise issue.
He wondered if a few microfarads of additional capacitance would fix the noise issue.
The schematic specifies a 0.1 microfarad ceramic capacitor for filtering.
