One-quintillionth (10-18) of a farad.

The farad is defined as the amount of capacitance for which a potential difference of one volt results in a static charge of one coulomb.

Capacitance is a measure of the amount of electric charge stored (or separated) for a given electric potential.

A coulomb (symbol: C) is the SI unit of electric charge. It is named after Charles Augustin de Coulomb who was a French physicist.
