A farad ia a measurement of capacitance. The farad is named after Michael Faraday, a scientist who was a major contributor in the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. Although commonly used for measurements of capacitors, farads may also be used for measurements of batteries and other electrical storage devices. If you would like additional detail on this topic, Wikipedia (http://wikipedia.org/) has a comprehensive description of the farad and its history.

One farad can be described as the capacitance which stores a one-coulomb charge across a potential difference of one volt, or enough to power a 1/2 watt lamp bulb for 1 second (assuming no other circuit losses).
