Fahrenheit- A
temperature scale with the ice point at 32° and the boiling point of water at
212°; conversion with the centigrade temperature scale(°C) is accomplished by
the formula: °F = (9/5)°C + 32. Compare Celsius temperature
scale.
Farad- A unit of
measurement for electrical capacitance (a capacitor has a capacitance of one
Farad when a potential difference of one volt will charge it with one Coulomb of
electricity).
Foot- A non-SI
unit of distance or length, measuring around a third of a meter (there are
twelve inches in one foot and three feet in one
yard).
