The SI unit of capacitance is
Correct answer: C. Farads
- A. Watts
- B. Henry
- C. Farads
- D. Joules
Explanation
The SI unit of capacitance is the farad (F), which is defined as the capacitance of a capacitor that stores one coulomb of electric charge when a potential difference of one volt is applied across it.

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
