Source sentences:
text: Air capacitors have a small capacitance which usually lies between 100pF and 1nF.
text: Any two adjacent conductors can function as a capacitor, though the capacitance is small unless the conductors are close together for long distances or over a large area.
text: In many cases this can be done to a sufficient extent that parasitic capacitance and inductance of a resistor, for example, are so small as not to affect circuit operation.
text: The capacitance of the variable capacitor is generally very small and cannot be measured with a multimeter, but it can be judged whether there is a chip or leakage between the moving and fixed plate, as shown in the figure below.
text: The capacitance of variable capacitors is very small which is usually in the order of few picofarads (generally less than 500pF).
text: The capacitance of a capacitor is generally very small, so units such as the microfarad ( 10-6F ), nanofarad ( 10-9F ), and picofarad (10-12F ) are used.
text: Their capacitance is comparatively small.
text: This energy is measured in farads, but because a variable capacitor typically has a very small capacitance, a smaller unit known as a picofarad is used instead.
