What are Microfarad and EMU

Definition of Microfarad

The microfarad (µF) is a unit of electrical capacitance in the metric system, precisely one-millionth of a farad. It is commonly used in electronics and electrical engineering to measure a capacitor's ability to store an electric charge. Capacitors with values in microfarads are found in various applications, including audio and radio circuits, where they help in filtering, signal processing, and energy storage. The microfarad is a practical unit for everyday use because the farad, being too large for most electronic components, is rarely employed directly in consumer electronics.

Definition of EMU

EMU, or Electrostatic Unit of Capacitance, is a unit used within the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It measures a capacitor's ability to hold an electric charge, similar to the farad in the SI system. However, the EMU is based on the fundamental electromagnetic properties, where one EMU of capacitance is defined by the charge stored per unit voltage between two conductors. Though less frequently used today, it remains relevant in specific scientific contexts and for historical reference in electromagnetism studies.
