Hi Joydeep,
Symbol F. A capacitor has a capacitance of 1 farad if a charge of 1 coulomb increases the potential difference between its plates by 1 volt. The farad is coulombvolt, or in terms of base units only, The farad is much too big for most practical purposes; microfarads, nanofarads, and picofarads are usually used.
All the best.
