Examples

  • In electrical engineering, the daraf is a unit used to express the elastance of certain components.

  • The elastance of the component was measured in darafs by the engineer.

  • Although rarely used, the daraf appears in certain older electrical engineering texts.

  • What is a daraf?

  • The unit daraf is not widely known outside engineering.

  • One daraf is defined as the reciprocal of one farad, which measures elastance in electrical circuits.
