         @chalkahlom a Farad.
         The unit capacitence is measured in.
         (Usually micro farads as a 1 Farad capacitor would be the size of a house.) :P

         Named after Michael Faraday.

         It was a rare electronics #crossword question.

               @chalkahlom @theru a Faraday cage. Its the reason your cell covereage sometimes goes to nil in a metal building.

                  @chalkahlom same happens in concrete buildings - the reason it's best to live in an old building (wifi is better)

         @chalkahlom @NYbill That is a unit of incapacitation.

            @chalkahlom @mjjzf we will test this. For science!
