This is not true. Some are measured in nanofarads, and some in picofarads. And yes, there are just one or two that are measured in farads. > And since this is an SI unit, the plates would > have to be 1 metre square, and 1 metre apart. As you know, there is a formula for the capacitance of two plates which is some constant multiplied by the area over the separation distance. The capacitor you have described would probably have a rather small capacitance. It is not necessary to give a physical definition for something which you have defined in electrical terms. imc
