Farad

Electronic components; Capacitors

Unit of capacitance. The capacitance of a capacitor which, when charged with one coulomb, gives a difference of a potential of one volt.

Fibre

Electronic components; Capacitors

A thread or threadlike structure such as comprises cellulose, wool, silk, or glass yarn.

Filler

Electronic components; Capacitors

A substance, often inert, added to a plastic to improve properties and/or decrease cost.
