Capacitors

Re: Capacitors

I wonder what response I'd got if I send a crosscut drawing of road plans with all the measures in kilometres.

Width: 0.0042 km
Slopes: 0.0005 km per side
Outer slope 0.001 km
Ditch depht 0.0015 km
Gravel depht 0.00002 km

:lmao:

Totally out of context. But nice try.

Why don’t you use nanometers then since you are so hot over nanos. Lol

No. It's exactly and literally a same thing: Scaling of units.

In a totally impractical way.

People have been using micro Farads for a long time. Like the mid 19th century. So changing to nano Farads offers zero benefits except to those that compulsively feel the need for everything to be in the SI system. Also notice that caps still come in microfarads

Especially if we are talking electric guitars, which originated in the US, and will likely use Imperial units for hardware until we stop making 1/4-20 bolts... which won’t be any time soon. Lol.

Hey I use both inches and metric on a daily basis. Why can’t you? It’s not hard. [emoji2]

:smack:

It has nothing to do with imperial vs metric system.

Unit is Farad. Prefix simply states the multiplier.

Then leave it at micro Farad.

Microfarad is one millionth of a Farad. Nano is one billionth. So why use it? It’s almost never been used in North America until recently.

The reason I mostly see is people insist it’s part of the SI. Same reason you see a 1.5m resistor listed as resistors being either written as 4.7k or 4k7. Because decimals are so hard. Lol

Hey you brought it up. Lol

That doesn't make sense at all.

It's just simpler to scale accordingly. Like you said there: 4.7k instead of 4700 ohm, 1M instead of 1000000. You do use those as anyone else dealing with them.

And you also use microfarads, because farad is unusably large unit for normal use. Your fixation about that particular meter simply baffles me.

Farad is SI unit. There is no unit in imperial system for capacitance.

I leave this at that.

You're right. Sorry about that.

Just can't leave some things hanging loose...
