Farad - Farad (English spelling)

Japanese: ファラド - ふぁらど(英語表記)farad
Farad - Farad (English spelling)

A unit of capacitance in the International System of Units (SI). It is one of the SI derived units, which is expressed by a unique name and symbol. The capacitance of a conductor that produces a potential difference of 1 volt due to a charge of 1 coulomb is 1 farad, and its symbol is F. This unit is too large for practical use, so microfarad (μF) and picofarad (pF) are actually used. When it was proposed at the International Electrical Congress in Paris in 1881, it was defined as the same value as the current microfarad, and equivalent to the capacitance of an undersea cable about one-third of a nautical mile (about 617 meters), but the current definition was adopted at the first general meeting of the International Electrotechnical Commission in 1906. The farad was named after the British physicist Faraday.

Japanese:

国際単位系(SI)の電気容量の単位。固有の名称と記号で表されるSI組立単位の一つである。1クーロンの電荷によって1ボルトの電位差を生じさせる導体のもつ電気容量が1ファラドで、記号はF。この単位は実用としては大きすぎるため、実際にはマイクロファラド(μF)やピコファラド(pF)が用いられている。1881年のパリ国際電気会議で提案されたときには、現在のマイクロファラドと同じ値で、約3分の1海里(約617メートル)の海底電線の容量に等しいと規定されていたが、1906年の国際電気標準会議の第1回総会で現在の定義となった。ファラドの名称はイギリスの物理学者ファラデーにちなんでつけられた。
