Definition:Farad/Base Units

Definition
The SI base units of the farad are:


 * $\mathrm F := \mathrm {kg}^{-1} \, \mathrm m^{-2} \, \mathrm s^4 \mathrm A^2$

where:
 * $\mathrm {kg}$ denotes kilograms
 * $\mathrm m$ denotes metres
 * $\mathrm s$ denotes seconds (of time).
 * $\mathrm A$ denotes ampere.

This arises from its definition as $\mathrm Q \, \mathrm V^{-1}$, that is: coulombs per volt.
