farad

WordNet
  1. (n) farad
    the capacitance of a capacitor that has an equal and opposite charge of 1 coulomb on each plate and a voltage difference of 1 volt between the plates
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
  1. Farad
    (Elec) The standard unit of electrical capacity; the capacity of a condenser whose charge, having an electro-motive force of one volt, is equal to the amount of electricity which, with the same electromotive force, passes through one ohm in one second; the capacity, which, charged with one coulomb, gives an electro-motive force of one volt.
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
  1. (n) farad
    The electromagnetic unit of capacity of electricity. It is the capacity of a condenser which when charged with a difference of potential of one volt has a charge of one coulomb. In practice the microfarad, the millionth of a farad, is more conveniently employed. The latter is the capacity of about three miles of an ocean cable.
Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary
  1. (n) Farad
    far′ad the name of the practical unit of electrical capacity—the capacity of a conductor which when raised to a potential of one volt has a charge of one coulomb

When an SRR is illuminated by light, the magnetic component of the EM wave induces the faradic current in this structure, giving rise to a magnetic dipole. Using SRRs as structure elements, Pendry constructed a new kind of magnetic effμ , of this metamaterial has the form metamaterial.

And clicked this answer back to me;
I am thy farad staunch and true,
Charged to a volt with love for thee.
