  2. Farad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farad

    The farad (symbol: F) is the unit of electrical capacitance, the ability of a body to store an electrical charge, in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to 1 coulomb per volt (C/V). [1] It is named after the English physicist Michael Faraday (1791–1867). In SI base units 1 F = 1 kg −1 ⋅ m −2 ⋅ s 4 ⋅ A 2.

  3. Faraday constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_constant

    Faraday constant. In physical chemistry, the Faraday constant (symbol F, sometimes stylized as ℱ) is a physical constant defined as the quotient of the total electric charge (q) by the amount (n) of elementary charge carriers in any given sample of matter: F = q/n; it is expressed in units of coulombs per mole (C/mol).

    Probability density functions (pdfs) and probability mass functions are denoted by lowercase letters, e.g. , or . Cumulative distribution functions (cdfs) are denoted by uppercase letters, e.g. , or . In particular, the pdf of the standard normal distribution is denoted by , and its cdf by .

  5. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    The SI unit of capacitance is the farad (symbol: F), named after the English physicist Michael Faraday. [2] A 1 farad capacitor, when charged with 1 coulomb of electrical charge, has a potential difference of 1 volt between its plates. [3] The reciprocal of capacitance is called elastance.

  6. Glossary of mathematical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    Glossary of mathematical symbols. A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various ...

  7. Order of magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

    Order of magnitude is a concept used to discuss the scale of numbers in relation to one another. Two numbers are "within an order of magnitude" of each other if their ratio is between 1/10 and 10. In other words, the two numbers are within about a factor of 10 of each other. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_letters_used_in...

    t. e. Greek letters are used in mathematics, science, engineering, and other areas where mathematical notation is used as symbols for constants, special functions, and also conventionally for variables representing certain quantities. In these contexts, the capital letters and the small letters represent distinct and unrelated entities.

  9. Elastance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastance

    The definition of capacitance (C) is the charge (Q) stored per unit voltage (V). Elastance (S) is the reciprocal of capacitance, thus, [1] Expressing the values of capacitors as elastance is not done much by practical electrical engineers, although it is sometimes convenient for capacitors in series. The total elastance is simply the sum of the ...
